    Neil: "At the end of a wet and grey week, the sun came out (briefly) to welcome the young musician of the year entrants on Saturday 23rd June. Ten young musicians had been invited to play before the adjudicating panel of Hilary Finch (music critic and a feature writer for The Times), Euros Rhys Jones (professional musician, composer and international board examiner) and Ben Hancox, (award-winning professional violinist) before one would ultimately be chosen as the Gregynog Young Musician of the Year 2007, and receiving the Peter Garbett-Edwards Memorial Trophy."

    Thank you Stephen for your comment. What a shame that the Festival Committee have not had the grace to provide you with photographs of your achievement. Congratulations to you on your achievement and best wishes for a successful future in music.

    Well I was in the final and am looking for some nice photos now! A 12 year old violinist called Julia Hwang who is already an international soloist won the competition deservedly. 2nd was Toby Hughes, a double bass player and 3rd was shared by Ben (I think) Hancock-Evans on piano and Glain Dafydd on harp. Another piano player and I (horn player) were the other two places. Hope this helps...I have no photos though!
