A Mwldan | Gerard Kilbride Co-production

Ten of Wales’ finest traditional singers and musicians star in this special performance that explores and celebrates the roots and heritage of folk music in Wales, the influences and relationships that have kept it alive, and the geography, language and culture of a musical nation. Illustrating how traditional music evolves through being shared and played, the chain is a sequence of interlinking solos and duets, combining a variety of instruments and musical styles, and creating unique interpretations and combinations of Welsh music.
