Llangollen International Musical EisteddfodS

Another fabulous day of competition and performances both in the Royal Pavilion and on 'the field' however, the highlight of the week is the event that takes place in the evening.

Saturday night means the "Choir of the World" competiton. Through the week, various choirs in different categories have been having their 'individual' competitons and the best from each category go head to head tonight competing for the acclaimed "Pavarotti Trophy".

A small selection of photographs from the day.

Only Men Aloud - Llangollen 2010

The hugely popular and award-winning Only Men Aloud appeared at Llangollen for the very first time. They sang Welsh favourites and other exciting pieces including some very unusual choices (ever heard a choir singing songs from Mary Poppins?) in a style they have truly made their own.

I left this concert so exhilarated that when I got home, I was straight on the web and bought 2 of their albums!

Whilst at the Eisteddfod, the choir's founder, Tim Rhys-Evans, was presented with a new variety of rose.
