Assembly Carols
The Assembly Carols this year were held inside, indeed inside the new Senedd building, and this is the first occasion we have had Christmas Carols since the building has been open. It is a pleasant occasion with carols and readings, and mulled wine and mince pies. There is some very good music provided by the Cardiff County and Vale of Glamorgan Youth Brass Band, and thanks to them. Sadly one of their students passed out during the concert in the middle of Rhodri Glyn’s short reflection (possible not as short as it could have been). Fortunately, despite taking a heavy knock on the slate floor, there seemed to be no real harm done.
I hope that the Assembly Parliamentary Services are going to have a fitting thank you for the band which played on despite the injury to one of their colleagues, and especially for the poor chap who cracked his head in the line of duty.
