Organisers of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod will be hosting a number of fundraising gigs at Llangollen Town Hall to raise money to support their core Eisteddfod.  

Starting on Friday January 19, the Live in Llangollen gigs will be held monthly and feature tributes to ABBA, Robbie Williams, Pink Floyd and Slade.

The original Merseybeats, who performed with The Beatles in the 1960s, will also be heading to the town. 

The Eisteddfod's Life Vice-President Keith Potts and his team of fundraising volunteers are behind the shows.

Keith said: "Every year we welcome people from all over the world to promote peace and reconciliation through song and dance.  

"This is part of our aim to work all year round and bring our community together.   

"We are delighted to have secured some of the most in-demand tribute acts from both Wales and England for our monthly gigs.  

"We hope the live concerts will prove popular and we raise much needed funds to continue our iconic peace festival.  

"This year, as well as bringing some of the world's biggest entertainers to town, we will be welcoming competitors from across the World to our Eisteddfod. This costs money and these Live in Llangollen gigs will help us do that."

* All the gigs nights are £10 and run from 7.30 till 11pm. Tickets will be available from www.llangollen.net and the Llangollen Tourism Information Centre in Castle Street.
