2:50 Auckland Welsh Choir's celebration of Prince George

The Welsh love to sing, it seems, and the Auckland Welsh Choir is no different. In collaboration with the Devonport Chamber Orchestra they're celebrating the birth of Prince George - a future Prince of Wales - with a concert of Handel's Coronation Anthems, plus some lullabies and traditional Welsh songs. There's just one catch, though; hardly any of the choir members are actually Welsh. Justin Gregory talks to their chairman Philip Morgan Rees at rehearsal.
