Home-grown Mark Evans - the Denbigh sheep farmer's son - and Fron Choir - which was originally formed to compete in the very first Llangollen International Music Eisteddfod in 1947 - are taking part in a first for this year's world music festival.

There's no word in the eisteddfod press literature as to whether Welsh speaker Mark has performed at Llan previously, unlike Faryl who won first prize for her vocal solo in the 10-15 age group three years ago.
