ABERGAVENNY’S Borough Theatre will soon be celebrating all things Welsh with its annual St David’s Day concert marking the patron saint’s day with a feast of the best of Welsh music and culture.

Leading the entertainment at the theatre’s traditional performance, which takes place on Thursday, March 1, will be Blaenavon Male Voice Choir, which will perform a mixed programme blending Welsh standards with more modern offerings.

The performance, which is promoted by A4B, comes at a busy time for the award winning Blaenavon Male Voice Choir which in 2015 appeared in a feature length documentary called ‘Save Our Male Voice Choirs’ about the plight of the Welsh male voice choir which focused on several of the country’s top choirs, as well as choirs from across the globe.

Just a few weeks ago the choir was invited to perform in front of an audience of more than 70,000 when members led the singing ahead of the Wales - Scotland match at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

“It was the first time we’ve been invited to do this but hopefully not the last,” said choir member Ossie Arnold, who also performed with the choir at a successful concert at the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff.

Joining the choir on stage on March 1 will be young soloists Gareth James, a student at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and soprano Jemima Gray of Haberdashers Monmouth School for Girls.

Also appearing will be Abergavenny harpist Lisa Davies

Tickets for the evening are available now from the Borough Theatre box office on 01873 850805 or at boroughtheatreabergavenny.co.uk and even include a free Welsh cake to help mark the day.
