The all-singing and dancing Gregory Brothers are back on the road. This time the childrens entertainers have teamed up with Eco Eli and Tidy Ted.
Welsh singing duo Paul and Adrian Gregory are taking the new fun-packed show to every primary school across Carmarthenshire, with the tour’s official launch held in Johnstown CP on Monday.
The show, which has been commissioned by the council’s street scene department, raises awareness of recycling and looking after and caring for the environment.
Each school will be given a free CD featuring all the songs from the show to use as an additional educational resource.
Executive board member for environmental and public protection, Cllr Jim Jones, said: “This show aims to raise awareness of environmental issues in a fun and interactive way and will assist in the eco schools programme. It was great to see the children’s reaction at the launch of the show and I know it will be a big success and help get these important messages across in a light-hearted way.”
Attending the launch at Johnstown school was Mid and West Wales AM Joyce Watson, local member Cllr Jeff Thomas and chair of governors and town councillor Doug Rose.
Eco-schools co-ordinator for Johnstown school, Teresa Brunt, said: “As a school we are privileged to host the launch of the return of the Gregory brothers. The children really enjoyed the show and have learnt important recycling messages that will stay with them for life.”
Speaking at the launch Ms Watson said: “It is a fantastic show. The children were entertained and educated at the same time on everything to do with keeping the environment clean and how they can play a part in it.
“The investment in this programme will ensure the messages are there for the children now and in the future. I shall be sure to mention the success of this roadshow to the environment and scrutiny committee in the Welsh Assembly, of which I am a member.”
