Remember the Tango Man who was dreamed up by the same Ad people who coined the phrase, ?
Well, such an assault on the senses is Llangollen eisteddfod. Take, for example, the amazing, energetic and colourful Punjabi performers.
At one point yesterday there was an impromptu sound clash between them and a group of Samba drummers just a few feet away.
There were no winners or losers, but the crowds were left dazed by the amazing sensory bombardment as they sang, danced, clapped and played their instruments.
You can also find yourself bowled over in the most unlikely of places. In one of the quieter, more contemplative tents dotted around the pavilion field [by the so-called Tree of Hope] children - the theme of the festival's opening day - had been pinning messages.
Among them, Madeline of Dinas Brân, Llangollen, had written: "Peace is about making friends and living together in harmony". Meanwhile, Jasmine, of All Saints, Gresford, wrote: "Stop war and let peace spread around the world."
And then, minutes later, I was saying 'hi' to as he passing through the crowd.
Llangollen during eisteddfod week - those Ad people couldn't dream up anything more amazing.
