choirs: we work for exposure, bocelli works for a fee.

Choirs pull out of Bocelli's Welsh festival in protest at fees

Multiple Welsh choirs withdrew from Andrea Bocelli's festival in Wales after organisers asked them to perform for free while the star tenor was paid a fee. The choirs announced their exit publicly and framed it as a protest over the pay gap rather than the music. Organisers have not confirmed a replacement line-up, and the festival's programme is now missing the massed choral sound it was built around.
