Cardiff celebrates Welsh language music

10 February 2017

Music lovers have been sharing their favourite Welsh music on Twitter to celebrate Welsh Language Music Day.

Organisers hope it will encourage people to listen to something different and promote Welsh artists.

Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens is an ambassador for the event:

“Welsh language music deserves to be celebrated and this is a great way of doing it, getting the whole country and music fans around the world aware and involved in the immense talent we have in Wales.

“The day will introduce a lot of people to some amazing music they may never have heard otherwise. There’s such a lot of passionate people involved in making things happen, from the bands and labels, the venues and promoters, the media and the music fans who just want this brilliant music to be heard.”

Events are being held throughout Wales including in Cardiff where a pop up festival is taking place at the Castle Emporium.

Businesses have also been getting involved with Co-op supermarkets in Wales only playing Welsh language music all day.

People have been tweeting their favourite artists using #DyddMiwsigCymru
