A Father's Day concert will be held in Penarth as part of a charity's camapign to get defribillators on all trains in the UK.
The Spectrum Singers, a local acapella choir, is throwing its support behind the Calon Hearts initiative by performing at the town's Methodist Church on Sunday 15th June.
The 'In A Heartbeat' concert aims to raise awareness that every minute matters when it comes to surviving cardiac arrest.
According to Calon Hearts: "Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anytime – even young healthy people. A defibrillator nearby can more than double someone's chance of survival."
"By coming together to fundraise, your community could be the reason someone gets a second chance at life."
The Spectrum Singers decided to raise funds for the charity after being invited to defribillator training by Penarth Methodist Church.
Research by scientists has found that a group of singers' heartbeats synchronise and choral singing has the overall effect of slowing the heart rate, making it a great stress buster.
The concert will feature poetry and music on themes of the fleeting nature of time and the enduring power of love, spanning numerous centuries and genres, ranging from madgrials and contemporary choral to jazz and classic rock.
It will also include a performance of musical comic duo Flanders and Swann's The Slow Train, originally written in 1963 as a lament to the swathes of railway branch lines that fell victim to the Beeching cuts, such as the track that once connected Penarth with Sully and Barry.
Now regenerated as The Railway Walk from Penarth station down to Cosmeston Drive, and cared for by a subgroup of Penarth Civic Society, it provided outdoor rehearsal space under one of its bridges for Spectrum Singers during the Covid pandemic.
'In a Heartbeat' will be performed in the Upper Hall of Penarth Methodist Church on Sunday 15th June at 3pm. Tickets are £15 for adults and £5 for children, including a cream tea at the interval, donated by sponsors The Cream Tea Society.
