There will be a folk festival in Machynlleth from 1-3 March, to celebrate St David’s Day. Artists confirmed include: Yr Hwntws, DnA, Parti Cut Lloi, Cerrig Camu, Twm Morys and Gwyneth Glyn, Yr Hen Fegin, Tacla, Cynefin, 3 Legg’d Mare, Sian James, Cerys Havana and Doimnic MacGiolle Bridhe. Apologies for misspelling - I’m a bit over-excited. For more details, and a full programme of events, see the Gwyl y Pethau Bychain (Festival of Small Things) Facebook page. Tickets on sale now.
@nia.llywelyn has made the brilliant suggestion that we organise a SSiW meet-up to coincide with the event. I’m totally up for that, and happy to help.
It could be late Saturday morning (11.00?), if plenty of you will have arrived by then (events start on the Friday evening), and we might or might not be able to meet in our usual Welsh-speaking venue, Caffi Alys, which is one of the main venues for the festival. I’ll check.
I’m very interested, but will be kicked out of my house that week, so I might be relocated to Birmingham by then. I reckon I could make it up for a meet-up by 11am though, even if I can’t do the evening gigs. Count me in.
I’m going on Sunday to Parti Cut Lloi and the twmpath if anyone fancies joining me. I dare say I could pop over on Saturday too if there is a meet up somewhere
Looking at the possibility of popping up with the camper van, small dog, and [heb Cymraeg o gwbl] wife - but it might depend on finances, as I’ve got two trips to Cardiff to factor in for the 6N… fingers crossed though…
I’m planning to come up on the Saturday morning and I’d love to stay for Sunday too. If anyone has a spare corner of a room I can bunk down in for Saturday night, could they let me know please?
It sounds like there will be plenty of us around to have a good meet-up, so let’s say from 11.00 at Caffi Alys. Some of us will be there through to 1.00, so we can stay on for the gig (£2, apparently, not free) by Y Tribanwr and 3 Hwntw. Can’t wait!
