Inner Wheel event fills Town Hall audience with seasonal cheer


* Emma Williams and Debbie Whitfield.

Llangollen Town Hall was filled with seasonal entertainment and fun, all in aid of charity, last night (Saturday) when the Inner Wheel Club of Llangollen hosted its annual Christmas Cheer event.

Arranged with the help of local musician Owen Roberts, the evening featured festive music from guest performers Debbie Whitfield, Emma Williams, Anna Romanenko and Phil Robinson.

Wonderfully melodic singers Debbie and Emma duetted their way through Winter Wonderland, Silent Night, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Walking in the Air, Oh, Holy Night and The Christmas Song.

Phil Robinson brought a taste of the old time music hall days when he sang Champagne Charlie followed by White Christmas and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

Anna Romanenko, who is originally from Ukraine but now lives in Llangollen performed a poignant piece from her home country at the piano.

Gethin Davies, accompanied by Eulanwy Davies on piano, contributed the famous old monologue Sam Pick Up Thy Musket and later led the audience in some favourite carols.   

During the interval there was a festive two-course supper provided by the ladies of Inner Wheel.

Money raised by the event will go towards helping to support local charities. 

In the past year, the organisations helped by the Inner Wheel Club of Llangollen have included: Llangollen Food Share, Pentredwr Hub, Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod and Wales Air Ambulance.

The Inner Wheel Club of Llangollen has been in existence for 60 years and is part of a worldwide organisation with the aim of promoting friendship and providing service to the community.
