Classical singing sensations All Angels have pulled out of Shrewsbury’s Carols in the Square to appear on Blue Peter instead.The group - featuring Shrewsbury girl Melanie Nakhla - was due to perform at the event in the town centre on December 19, following a stunning performance last year.
But All Angels have pulled their appearance at the showpiece carol concert to travel to London, where they will appear on the long-running children’s television show.
The organisers of Carols in the Square said, however, that they were hoping for another bumper year and “a night to remember” after more than 8,000 people packed into the centre of the town for last year’s event.
Adam Burgan, programme and marketing manager at the Music Hall, admitted it was disappointing the All Angels had pulled out.
He said: “It is a bit of a shame, but we have still got a big surprise in store for the night itself. It will still be a fantastic evening to get people in the festive spirit.”
People attending this year’s Carols in the Square have been advised to get there early due to the limited amount of space.
The event will start from 5.30pm and will be broadcast live on BBC Radio Shropshire between 6pm and 7pm, presented by Eric Smith.
All Angels recently performed songs from their album Into Paradise at Shrewsbury’s Abbey.
