On Friday, April 5, musical performance 'Piaf with Friends' is set for 7.30pm at Ledbury Rugby Club.

The event will see a collaboration between Nina and Bosse Markendahl, Tomas Carlsson and The Ledbury Singers, and promises a French nightclub-inspired setting.

The Markendahls first performed 'Piaf' at Lokstallet Strömstad in October 2022 to rave reviews.

Tickets are available for £10 each, and can be bought from Club Sport or Jill.

The association aims to raise awareness of the benefits of twinning, especially for young people through the sharing of music, sport, and culture.

Ledbury and Strömstad were twinned in April 2020 and commemorate over two decades of friendship since July 2022.

'Little Strömstad' can be found at the Talbot Hotel, and includes memorabilia and photographs documenting the journey of the last 20 years.
