IT'S starting to feel a lot like Christmas in the Dee Valley!

The Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod is to host a festive carol concert, to celebrate the launch of the 2019 concert series line-up.

The concert, on Sunday, December 16, will be filled with young local talent, with performances from Welsh singing sensation and finalist of the 2018 Vocal Solo competition Elan Catrin Parry.

She will be showcasing songs from her debut album “Angel”, while other special guests will include pianist Julian Gonzales, Llangollen Operatic Young ‘Uns’, the Ysgol Dinas Brân Band and Wrexham County Youth Choir.

Guests will be greeted with a traditional mince pie and merry glass of mulled wine to warm up their own vocal cords in time to join in with the cheerful Christmas carols, in the comfort of the main internal hall in the pavilion.

The Llangollen Eisteddfod is also offering visitors the chance to win a selection of raffle prizes, with all proceeds from the event going towards their bursary fund, which supports international competitors in their visit to Llangollen.

Tickets are available from the Eisteddfod ticket office by calling 01978 862000.

They are priced at £10 for adults, £8 for concessions and £5 for children, with those under the age of five admitted free.
