Pembrey date for Cor Meibion Llanelli

Cor Meibion Llanelli will be singing their hearts out on Friday to help the campaign to restore Pembrey's historic Court Farm.

The Friends of Court Farm are hosting the fundraising concert at St Illtyd’s Church on Friday, May 20, at 7pm.
“We are always glad to help local causes,” said Cor Meibion Llanelli musical director Eifion Thomas.
“We have close links with Pembrey and many of our members are supportive of the bid to save one of Carmarthenshire's few remaining ancient manor houses.”
A bid is now being put together to seek cash from the Heritage Lottery Fund towards the salvation of Court Farm. The present mansion dates back to the mid-16th century, early in the reign of Elizabeth 1.
Cadw, the Welsh Historic Monuments body, has already declared the building to be of “outstanding importance” and has offered a £40,000 grant towards initial repair works.
Mr Thomas added: “We know there are great efforts being made to save Court Farm for future generations, so a concert like Friday night’s is one small way in which we, as a choir, can help the campaign.
The concert will also feature Pembrey School Choir and soprano Sarah Pottinger, a native of Pembrey who now works as a singing teacher based in Devizes. She is a graduate of The University of Oxford, and The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
Tickets are available from Pembrey Post Office, Pembrey Pottery and the village school.
