Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod
Thursday 5th July 2012
Following on very much in the same vein as Wednesday. Photographing competitors and the events 'on the field' (oh, and dodging the sometimes heavy, rain showers).

Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod
Wednesday 4th July 2012
Wednesday daytime and the Royal Pavilion is packed with visitors from all over the world watching and supporting competitors taking part in various categories of competition from individual instrumental and singing competitions to massed choirs.
Outside of the Pavilion, visitors and competitors having a break wander around the huge crowds, perusing the stalls and perhaps taking in some of the other performances taking place on the outside stages
With our photography we try to capture the essence of the Eisteddfod week which means that not only do we photograph the serious competition and celebrity concerts, but we also capture people just enjoying being at this wonderful event.
In the evening, there was a magnificent celebrity concert where the guest artistes were trumpeter Alison Balsom, violinist Nicola Benedetti and headlining, the wonderful Lesley Garrett MBE - wonderful!

Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod
Tuesday 3rd July 2011
The official start of the Eisteddfod week means the "Parade of Nations" where the competitors and their supporters parade through the beautiful town of Llangollen in North Wales in full costume often stopping to perform parts of their dance routines etc.
One of the highlights of the week without a doubt and it always attracts a large crowd. A bit drizzly this year but I reckon it was one of the best parades I have seen (and I've seen a few!).The parade weaves it's way through the town and then makes it's way back to the Royal Pavilion site where performers start to prepare themselves for the evening.
The evening's event comprises many of the performers marching through the 4,000 seat pavilion in full costume and carrying their national flags before making their way onto the stage. Once assembled, the President of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, Terry Waite CBE, makes a speech welcoming everybody and then the fun really starts.
The evening is then taken over with performances by a large number of the people who later in the week will be competing in the various music, song and dance competitions.
A fabulously noisy, colourful and very happy day.
