Proms in the Park SwanseaProms in the Park - Swansea
Date: 13 Sep 2008 (annual)
Theme: Spectacle
Rating: 3 Stars
Presented by Gethin Jones - until June a Blue Peter presenter, let alone a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing - the al fresco evening also stars soprano Rebecca Evans and tenor Alfie Boe.
The concept is simple: each outdoor venue has one of the BBC orchestras to play the first half of the concert live and then the famous second-half shindig, including all the traditional sing-a-long favourites, is beamed onto a massive screen direct from the Royal Albert Hall.
With the miracle of technology there are also shouted greetings from inside the Royal Albert Hall to each of the outdoor concerts and usually each of the principalities contributing one of their national songs to the mix. Of course, there is one massive advantage for being outside to enjoy the Last Night of the Proms - you get fireworks, which those paying a premium to be inside the Royal Albert Hall don't get!
