St Collen's hosts atmospheric Carols by Candlelight

An atmospherically-lit St Collen's Church was the setting for the annual Carols by Candlelight service yesterday (Sunday) evening.

Traditional carols such as We Three Kings and O Come All Ye Faithful were sung by members of the congregation - all observing Covid regulations by wearing face coverings - and choir.


Music was interspersed with a series readings on seasonal themes by Leigh Mson, musical director of the From Male Voice Choir, Helen Belton of Llangollen Operatic Society, Dr Rhys Davies, chairman of Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, Clwyd South MP Simon Baynes and Julie and Dyfed Thomas whose  Twelve Days of Christmas with a comedy twist by JJ Norwich raised some laughs.


The service was led by vicar Father Lee Taylor who also augmented the choir.
