Gŵyl Gerdd Dinas Powys Music Festival: Festival of Female voices with Llantrisant Ladies Choir and Only Girls Aloud
Only Girls Aloud is a choir programme for young women in years 7 to 13 in Wales which launched in 2022. This programme gives young women an opportunity to hear about career opportunities, stories and life-experiences from a variety of inspirational guest speakers.
Meeting and doing things together offer young women in this age group chances to engage, identify their future aspirations and in so-doing develop self-expression and build on their confidence to achieve their goals.
Their debut performance took place at the Aloud Anniversary Concert 2022. They appear on the GEN Z new anniversary album and have featured on S4C in the Aloud documentary
The programme provides safe, inclusive, friendly, and a non-judgemental environment. They are always welcoming new members (contact: oga@thealoudcharity.com)
Llantrisant Ladies Choir
Llantrisant Ladies Choir are a South Wales ladies’ choir based in the historic town of Llantrisant. They were established in 2009 and they are going from strength to strength. They are dedicated to providing choral work to the community and surrounding areas. They use their voices for the care and enjoyment of others and tell their story through music of the past and the present day.
The choir has had the privilege of singing for royalty (HRH Prince Charles and HRH Duchess of Cornwall, as they were then), in 2021 for the official opening of the Guildhall in Llantrisant. They also performed at local events for the Queen’s Jubilee and more recently they were invited to sing in the Forest of Dean with the Drybrook Choir. They also take bookings for weddings and community events including invitations to appear with other choirs.
They rehearse every Thursday at the Llantrisant Workingman’s Club in Llantrisant. If you would like further information please visit their website www.llantrisantladieschoir.weebly.com or if you are interested in coming along to rehearsal, email infollantrisantladieschoir@gmail.com
