The show, proceeds from which are to be split between the
town’s Christmas festival and the Wales Air Ambulance, opened with members of Llangollen
Operatic Society’s junior section, the Young ‘Uns, performing scenes from its
recent successful production of the musical Half a Sixpence.
They were followed by the recorder group and a specially
formed rock outfit from St Collen’s School who played a song they had
personally penned for the occasion.
Next on the bill came pupils from Ysgol y Gwernant with
songs and recitations in the Welsh language.
During the interval the retiring Mayor, Cllr Bob Lube,
presented cheques of £300 each from his charity fund to six local youth
organisations.
The second half of the show began with a rousing set from Llangollen
Silver Band and continued with solo musical pieces from harpist Lucy Mwale and
acoustic guitarist Jamie Thomas who performed a number of his own compositions.
Finale came from the Silver Band who were called back for an
encore at the end of their set.
The show was neatly compered by Llangollen’s town crier Austin
Cheminais.
