brings some of Wales' brightest talent to Rhyl Town Hall in what promises

to her old stomping ground to headline the evening with her new band,
the Millionaires.

Joining Caryl is popular north Wales duo John ac Alun who are bound
to entertain the crowd with their dulcet country tones and witty anecdotes.

patch.

Ffowc adding a bit of spice and laughter to the proceedings.
