What’s the event about?
It’s a prearranged evening of Welsh singing to celebrate St David’s Day. Anyone is welcome. It’s not a performance or gig or concert, just people singing round the table in the pub – people like you! Come and have a go, join in or just have a listen.
But I don’t know the words
Neither do we! Lyric sheets will be available on the night. You will pick up some choruses quite easily and we can even teach you some songs beforehand if you are really keen!!
But I don’t know any Welsh
That’s not a problem, nobody is listening to see if you get the words or the tunes right, it’s just a lot of fun having a go. It’s like singing at a football match, nobody is checking.
I can’t sing at all/don’t fancy singing this time
That’s ok, you don’t have to take part. We welcome anyone who would like to come and enjoy the atmosphere.
Can I bring an instrument and play along?
Yes of course, you are very welcome to bring an instrument and play along. Chord sheets will be available for guitarists.
If I bring my guitar/other instrument can I sing or play something myself?
The idea of the evening is to showcase Welsh culture. If you know something Welsh – either Welsh language or having a connection to Wales, or a Welsh folk tune or maybe a cover of a song by a Welsh artist then yes please go ahead!
Does it have to be music?
No, it can be anything, a story, poem, anecdote, bara brith, anything at all.
Will there be any opportunities for Welsh learners to practice their Welsh?
Yes there will be other Welsh learners there and maybe one or two first language speakers too, so please have a go.
Do I have to book?
No just turn up, and it’s free entry.
