Dr Robert Childs has been getting into the musical spirit of Christmas after leading the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama Chamber Orchestra in no less than five sell out performances of the famous Raymond Briggs tale 'The Snowman'.

Great fun

Bob Childs told 4BR: "It was great fun and quite a challenge too. The film was projected onto a screen above us so everything had to link up, but the overall experience was smashing and it was great to see so many families come along and enjoy themselves and the music."
