karen a kjforum (08/07/2010)
Well as you may have noticedI love all KJ's concerts but this was something really special it was easy to see how Katherine loved being home in Wales and looked and sounded stunning but there was something extra special about the venue and the whole night was spell binding
so lovely to have a few of the Welsh songs back
the meet and greet after was wonderful and Katherine was in good humor and very chatty !! I also got to have a photo with Gethin wow is all I can say what a night when Katherine stood up gave me a hug and a kiss I was rendered a bit lost for words after that and just let her do all the talking  no I did not geta kiss off Gethin !! lol
Glad you had a good time. Gethin was certainly in demand. There were plenty of ladies getting their photos taken with him during the interval and after the show
Even as an Englishman, it was so clear to me how much Katherine was enjoying being back in Wales with a largely Welsh audience. And the Welsh medley was lovely.
Karen - lost for words......make note in diary  As you say, whether it was being 'home' or just having family & friends around her but I felt this was the most relaxed I can recall seeing her at any m&g

Thanks one and all for your reports.
This was my first visit to Llangollen for the Eisteddfod, and certainly won't be my last. I loved the venue and the atmosphere, both inside and outside of the pavillion.
The stage was near to perfect, being decked out with hundreds of flowers (not good for hayfever sufferers ), but certainly looked bright and cheerfull.
A beautifully relaxed performance from Katherine, who looked to be in her element to be performing back in Wales again. And so nice to hear some Welsh songs back in the programme.
It was good to hear Cymru Fach performed live, a song that was recorded on Premiere in the early days, and it shows perfectly how much her voice has matured over the years.
The programmes through the summer so far have promised Les Filles de Cadix, but so far it's proved to be elusive!! I was hoping that this would have been the occasion to be able to hear this song. Sadly, it was'nt to be!! It would be nice to hear it performed before the summer concerts conclude though.
Great support from Amaury Vassili (who proved what a great trouper he is, performing in a borrowed wardrobe from the orchestra, as the airline lost his luggage!!!)
Great to meet up with Katherine for the M&G afterwards, a rather more relaxed than some of the previous ones it has to be said, but always nice to have a few words with her.
As ever, nice to spend time with good friends old and new.
Gary

Many thanks to one and all for their excellent reports!
Not very much that I can add to what has already been posted. I have been to one or two Katherine concerts in the last few years but I can honestly say that this has to be one of the very best ever!
The venue was superb, in the beautiful town of Llangollen, the weather was kind to us and the concert was simply mind blowing. I am so pleased that I decided to plump for this concert, as it was a real treat.
Many thanks to Katherine for her time afterwards as ever, much appreciated. Good to see plenty of forum members in attendance, for such a wonderful event.
All the best
Graham

| Hi. I have been to many concerts in the past (mainly rock type) and most recently Bon Jovi in the O2 in London. This was my first ever Katherine Jenkins Concert I've ever been too. I have always had a soft spot for Katherine True she's georgous has an amazing talent and she's Welsh. It was when we were traveling down to London going through Llangollen that I caught sight of a sign saying that Katherine will be singing at the Eisteddford, so when we arrived back from our trip to London to see Bon Jovi, We arranged to get tickets to see Katherine. Katherine was sensational with such a beautiful voice truely, amazing and I must say hand on heart I am now completely hooked. Katherine anwylyd ddiolch 'ch achos a 'n aruthr hwyr Carwn 'ch ]m fel balch o 'ch. 'n benuchel a 'ch Cymraeg cara ni

| This concert was again repeated yesterday on S4C (1630-1800). Anyone who has missed it,I would highly recommend they take a look at the S4C i-Player in the next 7 days. One disappointment is that this channel has not repeated the "O'r Brangwyn" concert of Nov 2009 beyond a repeat a few days after its first broadcast.In this concert,Katherine talks to the audience a lot in Welsh.Many songs from her Welsh and non-English repertoire plus "Angel".A lovely occasion.The channel was due to repeat it in May but then dropped it at the last minute for a rugby match. I have contacted S4C (as has another DC member) to suggest a repeat showing.Nothing doing apart from our request being logged for attention of schedulers.I think if other forum members or well-wishers were to do the same,we might be in with a chance of getting a positive result-especially as Katherine is currently topical for them following the success of the Llangollen concert. Thanks Ian Ian
