Rhydian is to star in a concert at Builth Wells on Saturday 11th September.
He's played to sell-out crowds all around the UK. He's performed numerous times on television. And now he is coming home to Brecknockshire
and to Builth Wells where he will star in a concert at the Royal Welsh Showground. The concert is in support of Brecknockshire which, in 2012, will be
the feature county of the Royal Welsh Show.
Also performing in the show is Royal College of Music graduate and soprano, Sarah Jane Davies who, like Rhydian, is from Sennybridge. In 2007 she was
Welsh representative in BBC Cardiff's Singer of the World competition in 2007.
They will be joined by Ystradgynlais & Gyrlais Male Voice Choirs, Cantorion Trallong, Builth Ladies Choir and WI Singers.

NOTES:
Rhydian was educated in Brecon and Llandovery and lived in Sennybridge. Since coming to fame in 2007 he has achieved double-platinum with his first
album and his second was nominated for a Classical BRITs award. He has recently announced that he will be touring Europe and the UK in two rock
musicals, The War of The Worlds and We Will Rock You.
Sarah-Jane Davies was educated in Brecon and lived in Sennybridge. She has several times played the role of Carmina in the English National
Opera's production of the Magic Flute and has played the High Priestess in their production of Aida. This spring she played Micaela in the Welsh
National Opera's Carmen.
The Royal Welsh Show started in 1904 and was held in Aberystwyth. Each year it moved to a different location, alternating between North and South
Wales until in 1963 it settled on its current site in Builth Wells. To reflect its original migrations each year the Show has a different "host
county" and in 2012 it will be the turn of Brecknockshire.
