***SPECIAL GUESTS: BUILTH WELLS LADIES CHOIR***

Builth Wells Ladies Choir was formed in 1974 and draws members from a wide rural locality in the Brecon area, requiring ladies to travel many miles to rehearsals every week. They have a very talented and dedicated team of musicians who lead the choir. Musical director, Ionwen Davies joined the choir in the late 1970s enjoying singing in the soprano section of the choir until she was asked to take on the role of musical director for an interim period. 45 years later she still holds this position, sharing her enthusiasm, fun and musicality with the choristers. A very accomplished pianist Helen Hunter joined in 2015 and is an invaluable member of the Choir. Helen’s youth and enthusiasm invigorate practice sessions, and that smile never fails to cheer us up when we are struggling to learn a new piece! The Choir have in recent years taken part, on two occasions, in the Festival of Brass & Voices at the Royal Albert Hall, London. These events were major fundraising events for Cancer Research UK. Locally and from time-to-time . The Choir entertain residents at Brynhyfryd Care Home in Builth & Crosfield House in Rhayader, as well as singing at weddings, funerals and fundraising concerts.

As a choir, Builth Wells Ladies Choir are like a family with characteristics to make it a success, The choir has commitment, appreciation, communication, defined roles, time to spend together, values and convictions.
