I always wanted to go to Glyndbourne, but the nearest I got was listening to Bryn Terfal and I think Cecilia Bartoli in St Padern Church in Llanberis in July 1996. They had either just performed at Glyndbourne or were about to. It was fabulously intimate as the church was very small, and very special, because the show was only for the Snowdon mountain race team managers and delegates. Snowdon was hosting the European Championship that year so the main organiser twisted Bryn's arm as he was from just over the mountain. I was lucky enough to be the Ireland team manager at the time, but because I was also a friend of the organiser, I got put in the front. It was spine tingling. I had a programme for it, but it vanished in my last house move. On your pics, I looked at the images at full size and notice they seem a little blurry or manipulated. I wonder what filter treatment did you use in PS or whatever?
