''An Evening with Rhydian.''
Rhydian will be performing at
The Newport Centre on March 2nd 2012.
One of Rhydian's guests will be the amazing Shan Cothi.
Shan appeared on Rhydian’s S4C Series on 7th December 2011.
During the show she performed with Rhydian, they sang a duet, a spell binding performance of Barcelona.
Here's hoping that we can have the LIVE experience!
The musical savant, Derek Paravicini,known as the 'human iPod' will also be performing as Rhydian's guest.
He only needs to hear a tune once to play it.He has absolute pitch,a rare gift, so that, when he hears a chord with ten notes in it, he can identify every one. He can master any melody on earth, has a databank of thousands of songs in his head and can play anyone of them at will, in many various musical styes. He will join Rhydian on stage, perform a duet and even take requests from the audience to show how amazing his talent really is.
Tickets for this intimate, special event are limited so don't miss out. Tickets, at £30 and £25.00 are available from The Newport Box Office, 01633 656757.
Rhydian's TV series featured many well known guest artists.
GREASE IS THE WORD!!
Blonde baritone Rhydian brought some added X Factor to Grease when he joined the smash hit musical to guest star as ‘Teen Angel' for a limited season. Having wowed audiences in Blackpool, Sunderland and Liverpool, the singing sensation left audiences 'hopelessly devoted' to his charms when Grease rocked intoNorwich recently.He reprises the role later this year.
Rhydian as Teen Angel.
The Series was Spectacular !
The eight-part TV series, Rhydian, was recorded by Avanti Television, at Dragon Studios, Bridgend, during September, on a bespoke Vegas like stage. A number of our members were fortunate enough to be present at the recordings with many famous guests performing such as Shan Cothi, Hayley Westenra and the ever popular Three Welsh Tenors.
Rhydian travelled throughout Wales looking for new talent. Eight of the most talented acts appeared on the show and shared the stage with these well-known performers.The series offered spectacular entertainment and gave the new acts a chance to shine. Opportunities of this kind are quite rare.
Rhydian believes strongly that one person can have a big influence on a performer's success. "I'd like to make a difference in the careers of new artists in Wales, those who haven't had the chances I've had," he said.
If you missed the series it can be viewed in our archived video section.

Rhydian's albums demonstrate an eclectic mix.
His debut album, recorded with Sony and called simply 'Rhydian', contained rock and power ballads and featured a duet with Idina Menzel, the Broadway star. It was 2008's highest-selling album by a male newcomer. 2009 saw double platinum status awarded with more than 600,000 albums sold.
His second album O Fortuna recorded in 2009 earned him a Classical Brit nomination and sold over 100,000 units. As well as being backed by a Welsh male voice choir, the album saw collaborations with classical composer Karl Jenkins, opera superstar Bryn Terfel, harp virtuoso Catrin Finch and the legendary Dame Kiri Te Kanawa. He paid tribute to his Welsh heritage with two much loved Welsh favourites as well as hymns, pop classics and the classical anthem "O Fortuna", the first ever artist to record it as a solo. Conehead Records, to whom he moved in 2010, released two contrasting albums by Rhydian in 2011. Waves, his third album, appeared in August, featuring cover versions of a number of 1980s New Wave hits. This was a shift in style from classical crossover to pop. Additionally, to tie in with with his recent TV series for S4C, Conehead released a second studio album in December 2011, Caneuon Cymraeg ("Welsh Songs").The album is a mixture of classic Welsh songs and Welsh translations of some old favourites.
