Full house for moving ‘Music of Unity' concert in Milford Haven
Titled Music of Unity, the free concert attracted a full congregation, with standing room only by the time the choir took to the front of the historic church. Dressed in traditional Ukrainian embroidered blouses, the performers from VILNI moved the audience with a series of stirring songs that spoke of hope, resilience, and homeland.

The event was a touching show of solidarity from the local community, with many attendees waving small flags or wearing blue and yellow in support of Ukraine. The concert was followed by a community gathering in the church hall, where guests shared refreshments and took part in a raffle to raise funds for Ukrainian families affected by war.
The Milford Haven Town Band added a local musical flavour to the event, performing several pieces and supporting the vocalists with warm brass harmonies.
One attendee told The Herald: 'It was one of the most moving afternoons I've experienced. The music was beautiful, but it was the togetherness in the room that really stood out.'
Organisers thanked everyone who donated, with all proceeds going towards humanitarian support for Ukraine. Donations were accepted by cash or card, and raffle prizes included hampers, vouchers, and locally crafted gifts.
Photos from the event show a vibrant gathering of people of all ages, brought together by music and a shared sense of compassion.

Great British Bake Off 2025 contestants and show start date revealed
The hit Channel 4 series is hoping to rise to the occasion again with another batch of great cakes and bakes A JIU-JITSU blue belt and a drag king on wheels are among the new Great British Bake Off hopefuls. Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond will lead the bakers through 30 challenges, set by Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith, in the upcoming series which starts on September 2 on Channel 4. Here are this year's baking dozen and some of them have all the ingredients to go all the way. Name: Nataliia Age: 32 Lives in: East Yorkshire Job: Office Assistant About: Born in Ukraine, Nataliia was taught to bake by her grandmother, following traditional recipes that have been handed down through the generations. She loves to use these recipes to this day and also infuses classic British bakes with flavours inspired by her roots such as honey, poppy seeds and spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. Nataliia moved to the UK with her husband Harry four years ago, just before the war broke out. Her family followed shortly after as refugees and they now all live in East Yorkshire with their 3 year old daughter, Francesca. Quote: 'I married my husband in Kyiv. It was such a beautiful, emotional day — full of love, family, and hope for the future. The sun was shining, the city felt alive, and I remember thinking, 'This is the beginning of everything. If I were to bake a cake inspired by that day, it would be delicate and romantic — layers of honey and sour cream sponge (like a Kyiv-style Medovyk) with hints of lemon and elderflower. I'd decorate it with pressed flowers and sugar lace to reflect Ukrainian patterns. It would be a celebration of love, heritage, and new beginnings - just like that day." Age: 38 Lives in: London Job: Senior Systems Architect About: Aaron lives in London with his boyfriend Anthony, having moved from Manchester two years ago. He is a passionate baker who fuses French patisserie with Caribbean flair. Always experimenting, he's currently embracing Asian flavours like miso and yuzu in his mono-portion bakes. After a long day of application planning at work, Aaron channels his creative side into baking, sewing and making his own liqueurs such as amaretto and limoncello. Quote: 'I'd actually begun to feel I wouldn't get on the show. My reaction was quite calm mainly because I'd been to that stage before and didn't want to get too excited - a lot can change between that call and filming. I was at home working when I got the call. Anthony was eavesdropping and crying before I even got a chance to tell him.' Age: 30 Lives in: South Yorkshire Job: Analytical Research & Development Scientist About: Chemistry graduate Hassan lives with his mum in South Yorkshire. He works in the pharmaceutical industry, testing new drugs in their development stages. As a scientist, Hassan takes an analytical approach to baking, researching processes thoroughly before getting started on a new recipe. He is always looking to learn about new flavours and gaining new skills. Quote: 'I think my strengths as a baker are my flavours and overall creativity. I think some of the things I'm good at being creative with flavour combos, having ideas and using different unique ingredients.' Age: 29 Lives in: Belfast Job: Software Engineer About: Originally from Coleraine, Iain lives in Belfast with his girlfriend Dervla and their cat, Viktor. A former amateur powerlifter Iain now lifts dough instead of weights. Iain mixes his love of live music with sourdough, immortalising album cover art on the crusts of his loaves. He blends classic flavours with a creative twist, often using fermented fruits and vegetables to enhance the depth and complexity of his flavours. Quote: 'I feel as though I'm a pretty creative baker, and I love to tell a story with my bakes. I've been told by a lot of people that my style is very unique, and I know that's what people say when they don't want to say something looks bad, but I'll take it anyway! Anything that requires something to look cool or fun is perfect for me, and I love to take risks and have a bit of a laugh with my bakes.' Age: 23 Lives in: London Job: Medical Student About: Born and raised in Edinburgh, Jasmine now lives with her cousins in London while she completes her medical degree. She learnt the basics of bread and cakes through her Mum and aunts, and has fond memories of batch baking for big family get-togethers during holidays in the Scottish Highlands. Baking has become her creative outlet, and she likes nothing better than using fresh, seasonal ingredients to create classic flavour combinations. Quote: 'The tent was a lot smaller than I had imagined. I remember feeling so nervous walking to my bench for the first time. I was really happy that I was in the middle, I felt like I had a safety net of other bakers around me (to protect me).' Name: Jessika Age: 32 Lives in: London Job: Service Designer About: With backflips as bold as her bakes, Jessika is a gymnastic, roller-skating Drag King whose creations are as vibrant as her personality. Gifting bakes is her love language, and she'll spend months gathering information about her friends' tastes before surprising them with the perfect birthday entremet. Raised in Cornwall, Jessika has fond memories of eating corner-shop cakes with her sister after dance classes, which solidified her sweet tooth. Quote: 'Meeting Alison and Noel for the first time was absolutely wild. They're both so cheeky and always up to no good. Having them around was such a delight; while they're definitely a nuisance, they brought a comforting, joyous energy to the tent that made everything feel a little less overwhelming.' Name: Leighton Age: 59 Lives in: Surrey Job: Software Delivery Manager About: With a mathematical mind, Leighton is guided in both life and baking by the approach that 'anything can be done with a formula'. Originally from Swansea, proud Welshman Leighton has always done things his own way, ignoring anyone that told him 'boys don't bake'! He grew up playing the organ at his local church and now lives in Surrey with his Californian husband Eric and their Irish Terrier, Cilla. Quote: 'Never in a million years did I think I'd actually get into the Bake Off tent. I know everyone says that, but it's true! I absolutely love baking—all kinds, all styles—and I'm very much a weekend baker who bakes for friends, family, and my work colleagues. It's always been a passion, but I never imagined it would lead me to the tent.' Name: Lesley Age: 59 Lives in: Kent Job: Hairdresser About: Lesley's been a hairdresser for 45 years and the clients that come to her salon always expect a lovely slice of cake along with their trim. Despite a love for classic old-school bakes, it's never the 'same old' with her modern and fun designs. Lesley has high hopes for her Granddaughter Mabel, who she expects to be able to do a curly blow-dry and bake a batch of cookies by the time she is 5. Living with her partner Mark and two dogs, Norman and Marley, Lesley loves birdwatching, gardening and a seaside walk followed by fish and chips. She's been baking since the age of 10, inspired by Nanny Mable and Auntie Joan, who taught her the basics and sparked a lifelong passion. Quote: 'I didn't realise how hard the food team works behind the scenes to make sure you have everything you need for the bakes and how supportive and lovely they all are. That is never seen in the show.' Age: 41 Lives in: Liverpool Job: Hairdresser About: Blending Indian and Italian flavours with Scouse spirit, Nadia is a chatterbox bringing warmth and laughter into to every room whether it's her home salon, the dance floor, or the kitchen! Inspired by her Italian chef dad, she brings rustic charm and soulful flavours to everything she bakes. Nadia lives in a lively Liverpool home with her partner Daniel and daughters Rosa-Bella and Maria. Sundays are sacred 'feast days,' filled with homemade pasta, roasts, and always a pud. A hairdresser, baker, and former personal trainer, Nadia channels her endless energy into novelty cakes, creative twists on classics, and kitchen dance breaks. Quote: "The first time I actually saw the tent it felt surreal like it was not really there and I was not really there but it was even more beautiful in person. 'If I had to make a cake of my happiest day it would be on a tropical beach with my family.' Age: 51 Lives in: Essex Job: Bridal Designer About: From runways and veils to ovens and scales, perfectionist Pui Man brings the attention to detail of designing a wedding dress to each of her bakes. Born in Hong Kong and now living in Essex with her husband and two children, Pui Man rediscovered baking during lockdown and hasn't looked back. Her bakes are as beautiful as they are bold, and she practices endlessly to make sure her creations are as close to perfection as possible. Always thinking of others, Pui Man volunteers three evenings a week, collecting surplus food from supermarkets and distributing it within her community. Quote: 'I dreamed about myself in the tent all the time and I dreamed about meeting some ex bakers all the time. I was at home when I got the phone call from one of the team, and I was shocked because I had applied 4 times and no success in the past.' Age: 29 Lives in: Warwickshire Job: Business Development Executive About: Toby is a country boy at heart and grew up in the seaside town of Sidmouth with his three siblings. Currently three years in to his 'six month' home DIY renovation project, Toby and his girlfriend Syd now live in Warwickshire with their rescue dog Bex. Working for a fitness start-up, he is often out and about at events and meeting potential clients. He has a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and his training partner loves refuelling after a gruelling session on the mats with his strawberry cheesecake. Quote: 'I was absolutely terrified at the first judging. I was up first so had absolutely no idea how it was going to go or how it would make me feel. The time spent waiting to be judged felt like an eternity and I was so glad to get it out of the way!' Name: Tom Age: 31 Lives in: London Job: Creative Entrepreneur About: Tom grew up in London and learnt to bake scones and flapjacks alongside his Mum and Danish Granny. As a teen, Tom feared his secret love of baking would out him. Now, a member of two queer sports teams and with a boyfriend of three years, the game may be up. Having stepped back from the advertising agency he set up, he's recently reconnected with his first love, food, and brings a creative flair to his beautifully presented bakes. Tom grew up in a food obsessed family and when not working you can find him fishing for Sea Bass with his brother, foraging for mushrooms and cooking roasts with his dad. Quote: 'It feels so bizarre. You've seen this place on your TV for the last 15 years and now suddenly we are the ones walking into it. I think lining up to do the first walk in was the first moment I realised that WE were the 12 people that were actually going to be on the show."

Refuse ★★★★ Assembly George Square Studios (Venue 17) until 25 August You can tell a lot about people by what they throw away. So says Maks, a binman in a Ukrainian town. He seems content with his lot, with his wife Valentyna and their young son Andrej, and with his community, the characters he meets as he empties bins. And then there's Yelena, the lonely trophy wife who waits for him at the end of his round. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But just as Maks is negotiating the complexities of his personal life, Russia is building up troops on the borders of Ukraine. Ordinary life itself appears to be under threat; people pack emergency backpacks and talk about escape plans. Suddenly, everyone is facing tough decisions and Maks' love triangle is the least of his worries. Refuse | Ian McIlgorm Lucy McIlgorm's lively, heart-warming three-hander has an excellent central performance by Ukrainian actor Vasyl Sydorko as Maks. McIlgorm herself and Maria Shtofa complement him very ably, playing all the other characters, and Anastazie Toros' production is full of clever staging ideas. There is something of an awkward shift in tone about halfway through when the threat of invasion is introduced into what has felt like gentle observational comedy; perhaps it should have been foreshadowed more from the beginning? But the play captures well the way which ordinary Ukrainians struggled to continue with their lives under the shadow of an invasion which seemed increasingly inevitable. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad When, in the final section of the play, the invasion does arrive, the devastation is palpable. Now, everything is about the fundamentals of life and death. These are ambitious shifts within an hour-long play which starts as a comedy and ends up revealing the ways in which the worst of times can call out the best in ordinary people. Susan Mansfield Tilly No-Body ★★★ Gilded Balloon at Appleton Tower (Venue 140) until 24 August The name of Frank Wedekind, German playwright, actor and director best known for Spring Awakening and erstwhile teacher of Brecht, is well-known. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Less so Tilly Wedekind, his wife, and the actress who embodied many of his most important roles. Or, as she styled herself, Tilly Niemann - Tilly Nobody. Writer and performer Bella Merlin seeks to rescue Tilly from the shadows in this colourful play directed by her husband Miles Anderson. The story unfolds in a set which draws on the circus (a popular Wedekind motif). Wedekind was 22 years Tilly's senior and was - in today's language - controlling and abusive. She lost her sense of herself and attempted suicide. 'Where do your words end and mine begin?' she asks. The disjointed narrative spills from Tilly's mind as she blurs the boundaries between herself and the characters she plays. Yet, she never stops loving Wedekind; in all her conversations, he is the imaginary addressee. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Performed by Merlin with precision and pathos - and with a range of songs - it's not an easy show to watch, a reminder of how women can often be the ones to pay the costs for the careers of great men. Susan Mansfield The Players of Diadon ★★★ Gilded Balloon Patter Hoose (Venue 24) until 25 August In an unnamed fantasy world, seven amateur actors prepare to stage a play for the great and merciless King Diadon, a well-thumbed account of his incredible and unlikely triumphs over the years. Aside from new member Rick, Mr Porridge's troupe knows this story well, because a rotating cast have been performing it every night for the past fifty years. Except now, with over 18,000 performances to the Players' name and counting, King Diadon has announced he's bored, and that he wants to hear them make up a new story. Failure to please the King, portrayed here as an impatient disembodied voice, inevitably leads to a head-severing situation, so with this pressure looming over them the (fictional) cast's meagre improvisational skills are put to a severe test. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The sense of jeopardy in Ellis Green's play is diluted somewhat by the contrived fantastical setting, although the world-building is effective enough to get the point across and get us rooting for the group. What's most enjoyable about the piece, however, is the collection of fine performances director William Homer coaxes from the seven-strong cast, with particular standouts in Matt Wake and Jessica Enemokwu's feuding prima donnas Calvin and Camille, and Tijan Sarr's Polonius, the elderly poet who knows the Oz-like truth behind Diadon's life. Green also writes brisk dialogue full of satisfying interplay, with just a hint of satire on the real-life theatre world. David Pollock Timestamp ★★ Dovecot Studios (Venue 198) until 24 August What kind of expectations might be getting in the way of you feeling at ease or fully yourself? This is the question that organises Timestamp, a work that uses live sound, movement, and artmaking to explore one's experience of personhood. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Photographs of historical, inspirational figures flash in a moving gallery behind, and the audience can add to this for future performances. The script and movement sequences, however, are meandering and only semi-impactful in comparison to the drawings that are chalked onto the stage, relayed via video projection, and washed away in a small but significant ritual. Josephine Balfour-Oatts Going ★★ theSpace @ Niddry St (Venue 9) until 23 August The lives of two passengers intertwine in Going, a play set on a London train that comes to a halt on the longest, hottest day of the year. Inspired by the works of Anton Chekov, Going contains themes of existentialism and climate consciousness, and the two characters – who apparently have nothing in common – swing between states of nihilism, cynicism, realism, and optimism. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The actors do well with the story that connects them, which is unfortunately both predictable and stereotypical. Scenes featuring high emotion and anxiety regarding the climate crisis are stimulating, however, holding the focus, and enriching the overarching narrative. Josephine Balfour-Oatts Elon Musk: Lost in Space ★★ theSpace @ Surgeons' Hall (Venue 53) until 23 August This misfiring comedy by David Morley starts brightly enough with Ben Whitehead successfully evoking — rather than imitating — Tesla's tiresome tech bro; high fiving the audience and enthusing about retro video games. However, what little plot this has is all in the title. Elon has little to do on his way to Mars other than field calls from a none-too-convincing Donald Trump and others. His only companions are a stray fly and Sarah Lawrie as the convincingly robotic, 'Mother' — a clear nod to Psycho, but if anything this is content to gently rib its subject rather than go for the jugular. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Shorn of 30 minutes this might make a halfway promising sitcom pilot, but Lawrie's android is the only character you'd look forward to seeing again.

EIF: A powerful performance of Suor Angelica
Usher Hall, Edinburgh The bar has been set very high by previous concert performances of operas at the Edinburgh International Festival. Most recently there was last weekend's superb addition to the Scottish Chamber Orchestra's Mozart sequence, but also with Wagner in earlier years. The Usher Hall audience is accustomed to singers having memorised their roles and bringing their theatrical skills to the concert platform. The new Principal Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, Sir Antonio Pappano, and the dozen, mostly young, female voices from Covent Garden he brought for the last concert of the orchestra's residency at this year's Festival can perhaps be forgiven for not knowing that. Read More: With the proviso that the singers were, for the most part, restricted by being behind their music stands, there could be no complaints about their performances. Suor Angelica, the middle work of Puccini's Il Trittico, is enjoying a notable return to favour, with many staged performances. Its journey from the fun banter of the opening convent scene through the confrontation between the tragic titular figure and her imperious aunt, the Principessa, to the anguished liturgical dilemma of its conclusion was as powerful here. Carolina Lopez Moreno was vocally superb in the title role, which she paced with skill, leaving the revelation of the full power of her voice, secure at challenging pitch, until the opera's climax. The smaller roles of the other nuns were all characterfully portrayed by 10 singers, mostly recent graduates of the Royal Opera's Jette Parker emerging artists programme and a testament to the selection standard for that scheme. The one singer clearly 'off the book' – to the extent of dismissively pushing down the music stand nearest her at her first entrance – was Ukrainian mezzo Kseniia Nikolaieva as the Principessa. The Covid pandemic apparently denied us her Carmen for Scottish Opera, but here was a role for which she was as perfectly suited as our own Karen Cargill, with her richly-toned contralto voice. The dynamic exchange between herself and Morena's Angelica was ferociously intense. With Edinburgh Festival Chorus filling the choir stalls and these instrumentalists, led by former Scottish Chamber Orchestra leader Benjamin Marqise Gilmore, providing a gold-standard interpretation of Puccini's masterful orchestration, the evening was a perfect illustration of what Pappano is bringing to the LSO. The first half featured two stunning concert-openers: the youthful Puccini's Capriccio Sinfonico, with themes he would later repurpose on the opera stage, and the even rarer Juventus by 20th century Italian conductor/composer Victor de Sabata.
