MUSIC lovers can look forward to a series of lunchtime concerts being launched next month in the latest phase in a project putting a small village on the map.

The Music at Lunchtime series kicks off at 1pm on Sunday, December 3 in St Jerome’s Church, Llangwm with A Medieval Christmas, with mulled wine, mince pies and entertainment by the early music group La Volta.

Dental Excellence of Pembroke are sponsoring the concert, and merchandise will be on sale celebrating the Church’s now famous 5m-long Talking Tapestry of Langum, celebrating the Flemish history of the village.

In the second concert on January 14, the Cwm Cerwyn Ensembles will play, and will be sponsored by Great Nash Farm holiday accommodation.

Other concerts in the series are the guitarist John Rodge on January 28, sponsored by Redkite Solicitors; the folk, blues and jazz aficionado John Roach on February 11, sponsored by Evans Roach Estate Agents, Mike Chant on February 25 with the support of Emrys Inker and finally on March 11, Two Pianos featuring Sam Howley and Seimon Morris, sponsored by the Cottage Inn, Llangwm.

Set up in 2012, the lottery-funded Heritage Llangwm project turned the church from a cold, dark, damp-ridden building facing further damage from the elements into a warm, bright environment that’s already hosted music and other events.

Although one problem was solved by the refurbishment of the church, another was created by the extra bills resulting from the display of the tapestry and other activities.

Ticket and merchandise sales from the six concerts will help to cover these costs.

The full programme of concerts can be found online at www.heritagellangwm.org.uk/concerts. Tickets are £5 (£3 for children), or £25 for the series, and are also available in Llangwm Village Shop or from Pam Hunt on 01437 899966.
