On the 3rd December, ffresh at the Wales Millennium  Centre launched it’s program of events for Christmas 2012 with a Christmas Music Night. This is the latest event in series of live music nights where diners get entertained by members of the Welsh National Opera Chorus in between courses. MrsA and I were fortunate enough to be invited along to

The first thing you notice when you walk into the new Pilot is the chairs.
