There is no doubt that Swansea can put on a show, and tonight we did so, with the BBC Proms in the Park as audacious as ever, complete with flags, fireworks and great music. The council events team and Lord Mayor's staff who pulled this event together in conjunction with the BBC, deserve our thanks and praise.
The BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Chorus of Wales were joined by 1980s' band, ABC, West End music star, Sophie Evans, Ukrainian baritone, Andrei Kymach, and saxophonist, Xhosa Cole. It was a great night, thoroughly engaging the 5,000 plus audience.
My role as Lord Mayor was to host the hospitality tent, greeting the many people the council works with on a day by day basis to improve and develop the City. Once more the events team surpassed themselves, while the weather behaved itself for once. A great night, enjoyed by all present.
