Codi Llais: A Night of Music, Community and Young Voices

Saturday 9th May 2026

Trade Centre Wales was proud to support a truly uplifting evening of music and community spirit at the Utilita Arena Cardiff, as ambassador Mike Doyle took to the stage alongside an incredible 1,000-strong children’s choir from schools across South Wales.

The performance, titled Codi Llais, which translates to “Raise Your Voice”, brought together young people from across the region in a powerful celebration of music, unity, and expression. The event showcased not only the remarkable talent of the children involved, but also the positive impact that music can have on confidence, wellbeing, and community connection.

Joining Mike Doyle at the event were other Welsh artists including Bronwen and Shelly Ann, showing their support. The atmosphere throughout the evening was amazing with families, and supporters coming together to celebrate the achievements of the young choir.

Trade Centre Wales are delighted to contribute to Music Services Wales as part of its ongoing community engagement programme. Events like Codi Llais enrich lives, create memories, and strengthen communities with shared passions across Wales.

Singing plays a vital role in promoting wellbeing, especially among young people. It encourages self-expression, builds confidence, and fosters a sense of belonging—values that align closely with Trade Centre Wales’ community-focused ethos.

Mark Bailey, Founder and Director of Trade Centre Wales, said:

“Events like Codi Llais show just how powerful music can be in bringing people together and supporting wellbeing, particularly for young people. Community is at the heart of everything we do, and seeing all these singers come together on stage and witnessing the talent that Wales has to offer was a real treat.”

Events like this highlight the power of collaboration and the importance of supporting the next generation. Trade Centre Wales looks forward to continuing its support for initiatives that inspire, uplift, and bring communities together.
