THE excellent acoustics of the Wellingtonia Centre in Llanbardarn complemented the voices of the Builth Male Voice Choir on Saturday (December 2).

The occasion was the village’s annual concert in aid of St. Padarn’s Church.  During the performance the Builth Choir performer four sets, with numbers varying from “My Lord what a morning” and “Softly as I leave you”, to “The Water is Wide”. The Choir was conducted by Luned Jones and Adrian Morgan, with accompanist Ann Bufton.

Also starring were the Llanbadarn Girls, a sextet of local singers, whose repertoire included “Maybe This Time”, and “The Rose”. Additional solos were provided by Gareth Vaughan, whose version of a German drinking song highlighted his spectacular bass voice.

The evening was compered by the Rev. Rachael Storer and included a successful fund-raising raffle and splendid finger buffet provided by a team of local supporters.
