BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT 2012 - ONLY BOYS ALOUD SING CALON LAN (HQ)

Male choral singing has been a proud tradition in Wales for generations, and after the first auditions of Britain's Got Talent 2012 is set to continue with Only Boys Aloud.

"Only Boys Aloud is a choir for 14-19 year old lads from the South Wales Valley's.

The song they are singing is Calon Lân (a Welsh song) the words of which were written in the 19th century by Daniel James (23 January 1848 - 11 March 1920) to a tune by John Hughes (1872--1914) The song is often referred to as a hymn but it isnt a hymn. It is a song associated with the Welsh rugby union, being sung before almost every Test match involving the Welsh national team.
