Cr Meibion Llanelli (Llanelli Male Choir) are geared-up for one of their busiest weeks of the year.
On St Davids Day, Thursday, March 1, the choristers will be heading up the M4 for their very own big match near Twickenham.
The choir will be performing at Duke Street Baptist Church, Richmond, in aid of the Mayor of the London Borough of Richmonds chosen charity, the Citizens Advice Bureau.
Leanne Corneille, Mayors support officer in Richmond, said there was a huge amount of interest in the concert.
Tickets have been selling like hot-cakes, she said. Having the choir perform here in Richmond on St Davids Day makes the event extra special and we will have plenty of London Welsh exiles in the audience.
Cr Meibion Llanelli musical director D Eifion Thomas said the choristers were looking forward to the London trip.
Like the Wales rugby team getting revved-up for a big match at Twickenham, the choristers revel in the occasion of taking to the stage for a special event on St Davids Day.
On Saturday, March 3, the choir will be holding its annual St Davids Day concert at Theatr Elli, Llanelli.
The commitment to perform in London means that we have had to delay our own St Davids Day concert by a couple of days, said Mr Thomas.
But, you can rest assured that it will be well worth the wait. We care very passionately about celebrating all things Welsh and the life of our patron saint and the evening at Theatr Elli will reflect that passion and pride.
The choir rehearses twice weekly on Monday and Thursday evenings at Furnace Community Hall, 7pm start. Visitors and new members are welcome.
