Gwilym Bowen Rhys in Newport!
Tickets available here
Not a gig, but Gwenno and The Manics are on Later with Jools Holland, tonight, (Tues 15th), BBC2 10pm. An extended version of the programme is on Sunday at 10pm, BBC2.
I’m going!
I bumped into one of the organisers more than once last week. He’s optimistic that it will sell out quite soon (especially since Anweledig’s other performance at Car Gwyllt has sold out), so I would buy a ticket if you really want to go. I don’t think I can afford many festivals this year. I’ll probably be at Tafwyl because it’s free, but that’s about it.
By the way, if you’re thinking about camping for Sesiwn Fawr, be aware that the campsite is a fair walk from the town, although the festival does run a shuttle bus at the end of the night.
Ŵŵŵ! Drymbago!
Is the campsite the place to be, or are there other options?
It’s just a field attached to the Torrent Walk camping/caravan site up towards Brithdir https://sesiwnfawr.cymru/information/accommodation/ .
Tan-y-Fron would be closer if you want to walk to and from the town centre.
