Cor Meibion Llaneli choristers put on the style

Style is something that comes easy to the world-famous Cor Meibion Llanelli.

There is always a touch of class to their musical arrangements.

And now Llanellis male voice choir is able to boast some extra sartorial style for their stage appearances.

The 90-strong choir has been kitted out in brand spanking new tailored waistcoats. The waistcoats have been produced by the Cor Meibion Llanellis Ladies Committee.

Obviously, they thought that we needed a little extra something for our stage appearances, smiled choir chairman Mel Harries.

Followers of the choir will know that we normally take the stage in blue jackets or dinner jackets or tuxedos.

But it is always nice to present things less formally and the ladies came up with the idea of kitting us out in waistcoats a mammoth task, as you can imagine, as our choristers are all shapes and sizes!

Mr Harries added: We are, of course, very grateful to the ladies committee for making such a splendid effort and I am sure they will be very proud of the finished result when they see the choir take the stage in their waistcoats.

The choir performed last week at the British Confectioners Association conference at the Stradey Park Hotel.

Their next big Llanelli date will be the St Davids Day concert to be staged at Theatr Elli, Llanelli, on Tuesday, March 1.

After the disappointment of having to cancel the Christmas concert because of bad weather, the choir members are eager to get back on the Theatr Elli stage, said chairman Mr Harries.

Our annual St Davids Day concert is always a treat and I would advise people to book tickets early. Who knows? You may even get a chance to see the new waistcoats!
