It was another incredible night at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod on Friday (July 5).
Two-time GRAMMY Award winner Gregory Porter triumphantly returned to the Pavilion stage, supported by celebrated UK singer-songwriter JP Cooper.
Jazz great Gregory delighted his adoring fans with a spellbinding set that included a clutch of his most treasured hits including Hey Laura and On My Way to Harlem.
Speaking about his return to the Llangollen Pavilion, the jazz sensation said: “Thank you so much for joining us this evening I’m so honoured to be on this stage again.
"The first thing I remember about being here the last time is you lot, and the next thing I remember is these gorgeous flowers. It’s so wonderful to be back here in Llangollen…I worked all day on that (pronunciation).”
Manchester-born JP Cooper brilliantly opened the show with hits including the beautiful September Song, Perfect Strangers and Passport.
The headline shows are part of a new partnership between Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod and Live Nation promoters Cuffe and Taylor.
The series continues Sunday (July 7) with Katherine Jenkins closing the iconic Core Week of the International Musical Eisteddfod with a classical gala concert.
