London Borough Mayor sings praises of Côr Meibion Llanelli

The Mayor of the London Borough of Richmond heaped praise on Côr Meibion Llanelli (Llanelli Male Choir) after their concert at The Duke Street Baptist Church Theatre in Richmond.
Councillor Mrs Clare Head described the choir’s performance as outstanding and said that the choristers were true ambassadors of Wales.
The Mayor added: “The passion and commitment to Welsh choral singing really shone through in a wonderful evening’s entertainment.
“We were regally entertained by one of the finest male choirs I have heard.”
The concert was billed as a ‘St David’s Day concert in aid of the Mayor of the London Borough of Richmond’s chosen charity, the Citizen’s Advice Bureau.
The Mayor added: “It was wonderful to hear the choir in full voice and the whole evening was held together wonderfully by some readings of Welsh prose and poetry by the choir’s musical director, Eifion Thomas.
“Wales is very lucky to have a choir of the stature of Côr Meibion Llanelli and we were very lucky to hear them at their best in Richmond.”
The evening also featured a performance of a selection from the Dylan Thomas classic ‘play for voices’, Under Milk Wood, read by one of the Mayor’s oldest friends, John Crook.
It proved to be a busy week for Côr Meibion Llanelli, with the choristers also fitting in a St David’s Day performance at Theatr Elli, Llanelli.
On Friday, March 16, Côr Meibion Llanelli will be taking part in a Gala concert at Parc y Scarlets, 7pm start, featuring tenor Wynne Evans and Only Boys Aloud.
