On Saturday, September 21, Côr Meibion Llanelli will travel to perform in Brailes in The Cotswolds, paying a return visit to old friends in the community near Banbury.
“We have been visitors to Brailes before and we always get an excellent welcome,” said the choir’s musical director Eifion Thomas.
“We are looking forward to making the trip again. The choir members are really buoyed up after a very successful trip to the Britfest in Paderborn, Germany.”
On Sunday, October 12, a concert is scheduled for Llanelli Hospice.
The following weekend, Saturday, October 19, will see the choir perform at the first Gethin Hughes Memorial Bursary Concert at Greenfield Chapel in Llanelli.
