The double platinum-selling classical singer Rhydian Roberts will play the Blaenavon Workman’s Hall on Saturday 11 March 2016. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Rhydian shot to fame on ITV’s X Factor and has gone on to becoming an international star, working with some of the biggest names in the music industry. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

He will perform hits from his most recent album Carry the Fire as well as some of the classics he has become known for across the world. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

It is Rhydian’s second time performing in Blaenavon – he previously played to sell-out crowds at the Blaenavon Ironworks in 2010 to mark the centenary of the Blaenavon Male Voice Choir, who will be supporting him again for the evening. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Rhydian said: “I had a fantastic time the last time I came to Blaenavon and everyone made me feel so welcome. I have a real passion for Welsh male voice choirs and I am delighted that the Blaenavon Male Voice Choir can come and support me for the evening. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“I will be singing some of my latest songs from my new album and putting my own spin on some well-loved classics, so there will be something for everyone to enjoy.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The chair of the Blaenavon World Heritage Committee, Gareth Davies, said: “We are delighted to welcome Rhydian back to Blaenavon. His last performance here sold out quickly and was a huge success, and we have wanted to have him back for some time. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“It promises to be a great evening and I hope to see as many people there as possible to help us raise funds to support Blaenavon World Heritage Day.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
