Also in the news
BBC News writes that the Land of Song Festival in Cardiff has dropped its per-singer registration fee after around 40 choirs said they would not take part because of the cost. Choirs now pay a flat £150 each, and anyone who paid the individual fee will be refunded automatically. The festival runs on 8 and 9 May 2027 at the Principality Stadium, with Andrea Bocelli singing on the Saturday.
Dates and line-ups are as announced. Check each festival’s own site before booking.
