COSTUMED members of Pembrokeshire West Gallery Quire performed 18th Century Christmas music to a packed village hall at Reynalton on Friday evening.
The event was part of the festivities to mark the switch on of the village Christmas lights and was organised by Reynalton Residents' Association.
The choir performed the same programme to an equally delighted audience in Manorbier church the previous Sunday and in October provided the music for St Twynnel’s Harvest Festival, near Pembroke. New members are always welcome to join the choir which meets on the second and fourth Thursday of the month at the Albany Church Hall in Haverfordwest.
The choir's repertoire includes a mix of sacred and secular music once performed from the west galleries of parish churches, in chapels, and around towns and villages during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The music is sung in four parts, soprano, alto, tenor and bass, with each line led by musical instruments.
The Pembrokeshire West Gallery Quire musicians include fiddle, octave fiddle, concertinas, clarinets and recorders.
