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.

Choir of the World

For many this is what the Eisteddfod is about and their highlight of the week. It's certainly one of my favourite nights of the week.

The choirs that have won their various category competitions during the week (i.e. ladies, mens, barbers shop etc), compete head to head to win the prestigious title of "Choir of the World" and carry off the Pavarotti Trophy.

The deserved and very popular winner this year and therefore Choir of the World 2010, were the delightful University of Santo Tomas Singers from the Philippines.
