Côr Meibion Llanelli members are well accustomed to chalking up firsts, but their next concert will be a little out of the ordinary for even the hardened veterans of the choir.
The venue will be the car showroom at the Gravells dealership in Kidwelly.
“We’ve performed all over the world and at some astonishing concert venues, but I think this will be the first time we have performed in a car showroom,” said choir secretary Fred Elias.
“Having said that, Gravells in Kidwelly is no ordinary car showroom. It’s a swish venue and I am sure the surroundings will lend themselves to it being a hugely successful concert.”
The concert, on Saturday, February 18, will be in aid of TS Echo Llanelli, the Llanelli Sea Cadets Training Ship. Llanelli Sea Cadets are celebrating their 70th anniversary this year.
The event starts at 7pm start and the guest soloist is soprano Joy Cornock.
The showroom has been set aside for the concert by kind permission of the choir’s president, Mr David Gravell.
The Gravells name is, of course, well known throughout South Wales for being dealers in Renault, Kia, Subaru and Isuzu vehicles.
Choir secretary Mr Elias added: “It promises to be a memorable evening in very spectacular surroundings and we hope to do our level best to raise money for the sea cadets, a very worthy cause.”
