As both a soloist and chorister Sam Griffiths made a massive contribution towards the success of the Treorchy Male Choir.

He learned his craft as a baritone soloist in the ranks of Madam Danford George’s Pentre Operatic Society from 1947 to 1964.

Sam Griffiths joined the Choir shortly after it was reformed in 1946 and throughout the years gave distinctive service to the cause of music making. His sense of musicianship, style and natural voice made him a soloist who has delighted audiences in some of the major concert halls of the UK.

A factory manager by profession, Sam first appeared as baritone soloist with the Choir in July 1948 and over the next 39 years performed in a staggering 297 concerts.
