About the Choir
The choir can trace its origins back to 1896 when Llandovery Male Voice Party won a local Eisteddfod in Defynnog.
The current choir comprises over 50 members, and is always on the look out for new voices!
The choir meets every Wednesday evening in the Castle Hotel, Llandovery and is led by the Conductor Mrs Lynne Jones and Accompanist Mrs Elaine Robins.
Lynne had been the Headmistress of Llangors Primary School but has now retired. She is a busy farmer’s wife and the family has been involved in showing sheep at many prestigious shows.
She has been conducting Llandovery Male Voice Choir since 1989, and under her direction they have not only entertained local audiences, but have sung in some notable venues including Durham Cathedral, Strasbourg Orangery, and more recently on the shores of Llyn y Fan, and at the Principality Stadium. She has also conducted Trallong Ladies Choir.
In June 2013 she was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in recognition of her work in Education.
Elaine is a graduate of the University College Of Wales, Aberystwyth. She has been the accompanist with Llandovery Male Voice Choir since 1995.
After gaining her B. Mus. (Hons) degree, Elaine had worked as a full time Peripatetic Music Teacher in Primary and Secondary schools throughout Carmarthenshire, before retiring from that role.
She has also been the Musical Director and is still Deputy Musical Director of Côr Meibion De Cymru.
