Other Voices Cardigan 2025
2025's St Mary's Church highlights featured Ye Vagabonds, weaving beautiful folk melodies with rich harmonies that have earned them six RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards; the one and only Gruff Rhys, celebrating his Welsh language album Dim Probs; Cardiff’s Panic Shack, bringing their high-energy, socially charged indie-punk; Welsh eccentrics Melin Melyn, with their colourful blend of psychedelic pop and playful storytelling; Dublin’s KhakiKid, whose jazz-tinged, offbeat hip-hop carries both humour and heart; moments of sheer magic with genre-bending RÓIS; London five-piece Sorry, fusing rock’n’roll traditions with the rearranged codes of the digital age; and South West London’s Master Peace, the Ivor Novello Rising Star Award winner whose genre-blending, high-octane performances combine the pulse of indie with the energy of rap.

Across the three days Clebran brought together artists, academics, policymakers and community voices from both Ireland and Wales for timely, meaningful and inspiring conversations, alongside performance and ceremony. This year’s Clebran theme, Edrych Tuag Adref / Looking Towards Home, considered how we nurture what grounds us and surrounds us – our languages and identities, our land and environment, our homes and communities – and the shared experiences that bind us together.
Following its debut in 2024 year, Clebran on the Trail returned to the Bethania Vestry, hosted by Molly Palmer and Christopher Kissane, who sat down with some of our amazing Music Trail acts to discuss their creative passions and artistic inspirations. This year’s line-up featured Billy Mag Fhloinn, Carys Eleri, Joshua Burnside, Dionne Bennett, God Knows, RÓIS, SexyTadhg and Tokomololo.
