Welsh Champion Tredegar will be holding two open rehearsals ahead of the defence of their title in Swansea on the weekend.

Their rehearsals at their bandroom on Thursday and Friday evenings (both 7.45pm) will be open to anyone to come along and enjoy a sneak preview of their preparations on Philip Sparke's 'A Tale As Yet Untold' under the direction of MD Ian Porthouse.

The rehearsals on Thursday 27th February and Friday 28th February will both start promptly at 7.45pm at the bandroom on Gelli Road, Tredegar NP22 3RD4BR

Both nights

He told 4BR: "We always have an open door policy — so we thought it would be good to welcome visitors on both evenings. We've thoroughly enjoyed working on the test-piece and it would be great to welcome as many people to listen to it on both nights."

The rehearsals on Thursday 27th February and Friday 28th February will both start promptly at 7.45pm at the bandroom on Gelli Road, Tredegar NP22 3RD.
