Sally celebrates 50 years with Llandrindod Wells choir

CANTORION Llandrindod were thrilled to have finished their singing calendar with their concert 'Voices of Wales - Women in Focus', attended by the Lord Lieutenant of Powys, Tia Jones, and the deputy mayor of Llandrindod Wells, Kim Nicholls. Not only did the choir deliver a successful performance of Faure's Requiem, they unearthed scores that allowed them to showcase the choral works of women and Wales, including Rhian Samuel who attended the performance. Their end of year social was also an opportunity to celebrate the fact that Sally Bramhall has been singing with the choir for 50 years. Sally started singing with the After Eights choir (named after their poor timekeeping when rehearsing), which then went on to become Cantorion of Llandrindod Wells. Sally was presented with a cake, flowers and gifts to mark her incredible achievement. The hugely successful performance, accompanied by a string quartet, was made possible thanks to grants received from Ty Cerdd Lottery Grants and the Gwendoline and Margaret Davies Charity. The choir are now making preparations for their next busy choral season and are welcoming singers who may be interested in joining the group to a free open rehearsal on September 11.

Russell clocks second fastest 100m hurdles in history at Miami meeting

The 24-year-old American star finished just ahead of compatriot Tia Jones, who was second 12.19sec -- the third fastest time in history. Russell and Jones, who benefited from a strong following wind which was just on the legal threshold of +2.0 m/s, only narrowly missed out on Tobi Amusan's world record of 12.12sec set at the World Championships in Eugene in 2022. "I dont even know what to say, these girls bring the best out of me every time," Russell said after her victory at the Ansin Sports Complex in Miramar. Russell's time was also a new American record, and also a significant improvement on her previous season best of 12.62sec set in Gainesville, Florida last month. Ackera Nugent was third in 12.34sec with former world record holder Keni Harrison fourth in 12.40sec. © 2025 AFP
