are very accomplished singers with excellent voices, having been trained by well-known
vocal coaches, and are well known in the Montgomeryshire music fraternity. Ruth and Val
feature prominently in our concert programmes as duettists and are much in demand to take
the stage in and around Montgomeryshire.
