Piano on Top of Snowdon?

Bryn Terfel and his pianist (no I said Pianist!) on Snowdon

For any of you who missed it on the Television, there was a program on whilst I was away where Bryn Terfel, fat welsh opera singer. Think pavaroti, with a massive dose of Cymru. Anyway he managed to convince the BBC to get a piano, and a major film crew to near the summit of Snowdon to give a little concert. At the time we weren’t allow to realise the pictures, and as I was there with the Llanberis Moutnain Rescue Team (making sure the piano didn’t take a dive off a cliff). I didn’t publish the pictures on this blog at the time.

It does however show a few of the more light hearted things the rescue team are asked to get involved in. Look out for Barry Mcguigan who was on a sponsored walk who gave us a little tune as he was passing as well. I have omitted the naked pianist photos, however if you want to see them and I get enough requests I will post them. They are some very funny shots, one of them looks like they are making a bizarre porn film on Snowdon!

Loading up a Grand Piano onto the train

Getting the piano from the train to the side of Snowdon, was no easy task!

First lay your own tracks…

…then haul it to the fingerstone on Snowdon

Brute force helps alot….

To me, to you…

Many hands…
