Côr Meibion Llanelli (Llanelli Male Choir) are staging a Christmas concert with a difference this year.
The choir’s annual festive concerts at Theatr Elli have been pulling in the crowds for years.
This year, Theatr Elli is unavailable as work is completed on the new Ffwrnes theatre complex in East Gate, Llanelli.
“It’s a bit of a blow not to have Theatr Elli available,” admitted Côr Meibion Llanelli musical director Eifion Thomas.
“But in order not to disappoint our many fans, we have a Christmas concert with a difference planned for Tabernacle Chapel, Llanelli, on Saturday, 7pm.”
The concert is being billed as ‘Sing Christmas!’, with audience participation encouraged so that everyone gets into the Christmas spirit.
Mr Thomas added: “We are also very fortunate in that we have some very special guests with us for the Tabernacle concert – Côr Curiad, Côr Baroc and the Queen Elizabeth Brass Quintet.
“It promises to be a memorable evening highlighting the very best in Welsh choral traditions, with the spotlight on festive tunes guaranteed to get you into the Christmas spirit.”
The accompanist will be Sarah Thomas. The organist will be Allan Fewster MBE.
Admission is £5 by programme. Programmes are available from choir members.
