The Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod is to host an international themed St David’s Day event to raise money to help fund overseas competitors to the festival.

Music Director of the festival, Dr Edward-Rhys Harry, said: “The Saint David’s Day event will help to raise vital funds for the bursary fund ensuring that we can welcome as many international competitors to Llangollen in July as possible.

"It is great to see such talented local performers giving their time to support this cause.

“It is definitely going to be a traditional event not to be missed and is most certainly the perfect excuse to celebrate both Welsh culture and international inclusivity.”

The traditional format of the Cymanfa Ganu - the congregational singing of hymns - will be conducted by Leigh Mason of Côr Meibion Froncysyllte, and will feature musical items from the Llangollen Silver Band and the James Lambert Singers.
