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 week. The gigs, which will be held monthly in Llangollen Town Hall feature tributes to ABBA, Robbie Williams, Pink Floyd, Slade as well as bringing the original Merseybeats, who performed with The Beatles in the 1960s, to town.
Organisers hope to bring the Llangollen Community together and raise money for their annual music festival. There will be a “Live at Llangollen” night every month in Llangollen Town Hall from Friday, January 19th.
Life Vice-President of the Llangollen Eisteddfod Keith Potts and his team of fundraising volunteers are behind the monthly gigs.
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 nights are £10 and are from 7.30 till 11.00pm and will be available from www.llangollen.net and the Llangollen Tourism Information Centre.
