ATTENTION! The Siren Sisters will be calling at a special concert to help launch the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal in South West Wales.
Think 1940s, bluebirds, white cliffs and apple blossom . . . and you’ll get the picture of what’s in store.
The blonde, brunette and redhead combo will be one of the stars of the Royal British Legion Charity Gala Concert will be staged at The Lyric Theatre in Carmarthen on Saturday, October 19.
The concert will also feature Cantorion Colin Jones (the Colin Jones singers) and The 215 City of Swansea Squadron Corps of Drums.
The Siren Sisters very much follow in the footsteps of the great ‘sister acts’ – the Andrews, Boswell and Dinning Sisters.
Welsh born and bred, The Siren Sisters make audiences sit up and take notice and pay attention!
The Siren Sisters were set up as a three-part close harmony group by Sarah Perryman (the blonde in the act).
After studying Classical Music at Cardiff University, Sarah trained as a Musical Theatre actress in London at the prestigious Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. However, she missed the ‘green green grass of home’ and, after four years in London, decided to come back to Cardiff and set up her own performance projects.
Jo (the brunette in the act) is Sarah’s real sister. She studied for a degree in Journalism, Broadcasting and Sociology at Cardiff University while doing her music exams in guitar and tenor horn with the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music.
Helena (the redhead in the trio) trained in Musical Theatre at The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and was recently in the final for The Young Welsh Musical Theatre Singer of the Year Competition.
The driving force behind the gala concert is Cerith Owens, the director of Loud Applause Productions, a firm which devotes a lot of energy to charitable causes.
“This annual gala event is always one of the highlights of the year and was a sell-out at the Lyric last year, helping to give the poppy appeal a big boost.
“The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal is a cause very dear to all our hearts and I hope the people of Carmarthenshire and beyond lend their support to such a worthy charity.”
The evening will close with a poignant ‘Tribute to the Fallen’ with poppies falling into the auditorium.
Mr Owens added: “The gala concert is described as ‘a thrilling and melancholy evening with stirring and evocative music which will leave you with a lasting impression.’
