The Land of Song Wales is sometimes known as the Land of Song, and is famed for its singers. In the words of Tom Jones:  "Singing in South Wales is part of life. When I was growing up I don't think I ever remembered life in South Wales without singing. There was singing in school, there was singing in chapel, and singing around the house.
"Singing is a part of life in South Wales. Throughout Great Britain, people know that the Welsh can sing. And the male voice choirs, you know there are many male voice choirs, as opposed to the brass bands and silver bands in the north of England. We have those in Wales as well, but it is mostly choirs. The music that we made was always vocal, as opposed to instrumental."
