Annwen Williams, County President
Annwen’s love of the stage first began at the tender age of 3. Having joined Neath YFC at 12, her ability to perform escalated winning the Singing Solo Competition at the Wales YFC Eisteddfod. It came as no surprise to those around her that a future career beckoned on the world’s stage. With studies taking her from Cardiff to London, Annwen’s destiny was set as she became a professional Opera Singer travelling the globe performing on some of the finest stages. Despite these accreditations, her feet have remained firmly grounded. Her love for agriculture never waned as she continues to run her family’s Welsh Black cattle & Welsh Mountain sheep farm in Neath. Having been elected as County’s Eisteddfod President when Glamorgan hosted the Wales YFC Eisteddfod in 2018, we were delighted when Annwen became County President for our 80th year one of her many YFC highlights. Although sharing members’ euphoria when the Glamorgan YFC Choir won the NFYFC Choir Competition at Blackpool’s AGM remains a very close second. When not farming, performing on the world stage or helping Glamorgan’s members Annwen is a Conductor for Cor Morgannwg and a member of the Iechyd Da’ Murder Mystery Group raising much needed funds for charity. We are honoured to have her. |
