CÔR Meibion Llanelli’s extra special guest at their annual concert on Saturday, September 20, will be the award-winning and record-breaking West End and Broadway performer John Owen-Jones.
John is a ‘local hero’ being from Burry Port. He is best known for his performances as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables and as The Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera.
The concert marks the 50th anniversary of Côr Meibion Llanelli.
It is being held at the newly-refurbished Selwyn Samuel Centre in Llanelli, starting at 7pm on Saturday, September 20.
John will be accompanied by celebrated pianist Caradog Williams.
Côr Meibion Llanelli will be under the baton of musical director Eifion Thomas, with Rhiannon Williams-Hale as accompanist.
The concert will also feature Burry Port Town Band.
“It promises to be an extra-special occasion in the Llanelli musical calendar,” said Côr Meibion Llanelli chairman Mel Harries.
“John Owen-Jones is a world class act and his local fans only get rare opportunities to see him on his home ground.
“This will be his final West Wales performance this year before he heads into the studio to record a new album.”
Tickets (£20) are available from any member of Côr Meibion Llanelli, the Halfway Hotel (telephone 01554 773571) or the Gravells garage showroom in Kidwelly (01554 890436).
