At a glittering ceremony on Monday 10 March the Artistic Director of the Llandeilo Music and Flower Festival, Julia Jones, was named “Woman of the Year - Arts and Culture” for her role in promoting Welsh culture and heritage. The event, which was held in Trimsaran Leisure Centre, was to mark International Women’s Day in Carmarthenshire, and was organised by Carmarthenshire County Council. The presentation was made by the BBC’s former Royal Correspondent, Jennie Bond. The judges awarded the title to Julia for her work in founding and organising the Festival, which has gone from strength to strength since its inception in 2001, making Llandeilo (and Carmarthenshire) an increasingly recognised mecca for the performing arts.
