Concert will give boost to the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal



 
A special concert is planned to give a boost to the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal in South West Wales.
The Royal British Legion Charity Gala Concert will be staged at The Lyric theatre in Carmarthen on Saturday, October 27.

It will feature Côr Godre’r Aran, the celebrated male voice choir from North Wales, and the renowned Richard Williams Singers from Tonyrefail (both pictured above).
The man behind the concert is Cerith Owens (pictured top), director of Loud Applause Productions, a firm which devotes a lot of energy to charitable causes.
“October is the time when our thoughts turn towards Remembrance Day and this concert will be a moving and stirring tribute to the fallen,” said Mr Owens.
“The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal is a cause very dear to all our hearts and I hope the people of Carmarthenshire lend their support to such a worthy charity.
“Hopefully, the concert will also attract visitors from outside Carmarthenshire as we have a very attractive concert programme.”
The guest soloist for the evening will be soprano Adele O’Neill.
The evening will also feature the 215 City of Swansea Squadron Corps of Drums.
The compere for the evening will be Monro Walters, known to many as the stadium announcer at Parc y Scarlets, home of the Scarlets rugby region.
The evening will close with ‘A tribute to the fallen’.
Tickets are available from the Lyric box office on 0845 2263510. Prices are £11, £13 and £15, with a £2 child reduction.
