Something I miss from the olde country is the spontaneous singing at a pub:
Locals sing 'Gwahoddiad': https://www.facebook.com/WalesOnline/videos/10155780896762183/?t=1
I'm used to hearing it sung by a Welsh male voice (4-part) choir, but these young folks did a nice job; Likely members of a mixed choir. Wish I could have heard the rest of the hymn on YouTube.
Although I've sung and listened to this hymn for most of my life, it surprised me to learn it began as an English language gospel song - see Wiki:

FWIW when we used to host visitors from Wales, we'd always go to a "British pub" in the Bay area, and would inevitably break into song.
