Hope you all enjoyed the male voice choir on Saturday! More Welsh-language music in Oxford next month with a triple harpist playing songs from the collections in the Llyfrgell Genedlaethol:
Cerys Hafana, Thursday 23 November, Common Ground
I know Cerys Havana very well since she was a young girl. If you intend going tell her that I said helo, she’ll be more than pleased to speak welsh to you @owen-mcknight
@Betterlatethan i just got very excited. Is this you? My mum is staying this week and she is reading “Gêm Beryglus”
Yes, that’s me. Before the first books in the series were published, there was an invitation on the forum for people to apply to review a book online before it appeared in print. I applied, and I reviewed this one. I am ridiculously proud of having my review printed on the back.

Ooh, I’ve seen Cerys Hafana perform a couple of times recently - once at Tafŵyl and then in the Lleisiau Eraill festival in Aberteifi. She’s absolutely wonderful! Very highly recommended…
