She’s been spreading festive cheer to anyone visiting Tenby’s historic market hall this Christmas - and singer Lowri Wyn Smith - hailed by traders as the seaside town’s finest songstress - will continue with the tunes this weekend in the lead up to the big day.
Pembrokeshire County Council who run the facility, had invited choirs interested in performing at the historic market on High Street in the lead up to Christmas to get in touch - to add some ‘seasonal spirit and vibrancy’ throughout December - but Lowri has stepped-up with her solo singing.
As well as delighting shoppers and passers-by in Tenby, Lowri who has been running her pop-up ‘Lowri’s Shop’ at the Market Hall over the winter period, also treated New Hedges WI members to a few festive tunes at their Christmas dinner this month.
One trader at the market said: “We absolutely loved the first performance and are excited to hear and see her again. Keep your ears at the ready and expect to hear her wonderful tunes again.”
On another performance where Lowri was joined by Greenhill School pupils, another trader remarked: “I was stunned by her voice - perfect pitch without any mic or background accompaniment. The best singer l have heard since Susan Boyle!”
Lowri and her husband Mark, are also behind the design of the new Tenby Boxing Day Swim medals that entrants to the annual charity event will receive after coming out of the sea on December 26.
The medal is two-sided and features original artwork.
“We're excited and proud to be the medals sponsor, as well as designing and making them,” said Lowri and Mark.
“The medals can be kept as they are or turned into keyrings - rings will be available for a 50p donation with all proceeds going to Tenby RNLI.”
Keep an eye out for Lowri performing once again at the market this weekend...
