THE Cueva de las Calaveras in Benidoleig will be filled once again this year with the wonderful sound of the Costa Blanca Male Voice Choir.
Two concerts on June 16 and 17 will feature new songs and some musical surprises, according to Marketing and Publicity Officer Vernon Pearce.
“The choir have been rehearsing hard during the winter and are hoping to impress the audience with some very different songs in this wonderfully acoustic location,” Vernon explained.
