Castle Belles, a women’s choir from Llanfair Caereinion, are set to join Britian’s Got Talent finalist Amy-Lou Smith in a performance at the Joe Longthorne Theatre on Blackpool’s north pier.
Set to take to the stage on Sunday, September 22, the Powys choir will be joined by several other singers and accompanying musicians but are excited to be in the spotlight on the stage named after the famed singer and impressionist who resided in the English seaside town.
The choir’s musical director, Elaine Buckland, said: “They’ve all been working so hard on the performance. It’s taken at least two or three months of rehearsal to get to the stage we are at now. They deserve some wonderful acknowledgement for all the effort that’s already been put into the perform
“I’ve been based in Llanfair for about 20 years and have been leading a choir here for around 12 years. I’ve been involved with music for as long as I can remember. I even worked with Joe Longthorne himself back in the day, after whom the theatre is now named, so it will be a strange feeling to return to that stage.
“We’ll also be joined by another choir from Wolverhampton, called Counterpoint, and a couple of extra singers from both areas.
“It’s a really lovely thing. They’re so deserving of recognition on this sort of stage for all the hard work they’ve put in, not just for this performance but during their time as a choir.
