Caerphilly Ladies Choir will be holding its next concert later this month.

The choir will be performing at Wesley Methodist Church in Caerphilly on Wednesday September 27, with tickets available for £5.

They will be joined by the Mornington Peninsula Welsh Ladies Choir, who are travelling from near Melbourne, Australia, to be part of the concert.

Soloist Connie Garcia will also perform, with the event raising money for Wales Air Ambulance.

Caerphilly Ladies Choir, which practices at Caerphilly Miners’ Centre, will be returning from its summer break this week, having enjoyed a busy spring and summer period.

From 7.30pm on Tuesday, the choir will begin preparing for its events leading up to Christmas, which include monthly concerts – with all proceeds going to charity.

Choir member Marjorie Gray said: “Although a few choristers did not return after Covid we have gained quite a number of new members.

“We are a very friendly and enthusiastic choir striving to entertain, help to support the community, and raise the standard of choral singing.”

As well as the more formal concerts, the choir also has a ‘ladies of leisure’ section, which goes out into the community once a month to entertain residents in care homes and retirement homes.

Anyone who wants to book the choir for a concert, or is interested in joining the choir, can visit the choir’s website or Facebook page, or contact the choir secretary on 02920 885612.
