Monday 10th February was an unforgettable evening at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff. Laithwaite’s were proud to support the Classic FM team in delivering an outstanding evening of exceptional music for their annual Classic FM Live event in Wales. As sponsors we, did what we do best and, provided guests with delicious wines as an accompaniment to the wonderful music.
The concert encapsulates one of the reasons why we love working with Classic FM. We all believe that wine tastes better with music, and music sounds better with wine. The team at Classic FM paired our wines with some of the musical pieces on the night, and you’ve got the chance to recreate this at home tonight and let us know what you think. The concert is being played again in full, at 8pm tonight, on the Full Works on Classic FM.
