This concert is taking place at the BBC Club, Llandaf, Cardiff, on Friday 25 November.<\/p>\n<p>The Cwlwm Celtaidd launch gig will feature traditional folk bands, playing instruments such as the pibgorn, fiddle, crwth and harp. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jamiesmithsmabon.com\/\">Jamie Smith\u2019s Mabon<\/a>, an international Celtic band, are headlining the concert.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_34221\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 442px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2016\/11\/jamie-smith-improved-480.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-34221 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2016\/11\/jamie-smith-improved-480-442x312.jpg\" alt=\"Meet Jamie Smith's Mabon and their traditional instruments (www.paulmichaelhughes.com)\" width=\"442\" height=\"312\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34221 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2016\/11\/jamie-smith-improved-480-442x312.jpg\" alt=\"Meet Jamie Smith's Mabon and their traditional instruments (www.paulmichaelhughes.com)\" width=\"442\" height=\"312\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> Meet Jamie Smith&#8217;s Mabon and their traditional instruments (www.paulmichaelhughes.com)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The venue opens at 8pm and tickets are \u00a310 on the door. For those worried the event will sell out, tickets can be booked over the phone too.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Smith, one of Cwlwm Celtaidd\u2019s co-founders, says she set up the event to, \u201cPromote young folk musicians and give a platform to traditional Welsh artists.\u201d Another promotional event will be taking place in the new year.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah also revealed that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.calan-band.com\/\">Calan<\/a>, the popular, young, traditional\u00a0Welsh\u00a0band, will be playing at next year\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cwlwmceltaidd.org\/en\/\">Cwlwm Celtaidd Wales Interceltic Festival<\/a>. The festival is a family friendly weekend of song and dance, displaying the best of the Celtic music from Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Isle of Man, Cornwall and Brittany.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Rimes, one of the four members of Calan, says the band uses the pibgorn as a leading instrument. The pibgorn is a wooden reed, and traditional Welsh instrument, rarely used by bands. However, he clarifies this isn\u2019t a gimmick. He says the band decided to use traditional Welsh instruments because they sound, \u201ckick-ass\u201d. Their music also features authentic Welsh clog dancing, despite the fact it\u2019s thought of as traditionally Irish.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Smith says the remaining acts for the 2017 Wales Interceltic Festival should be released in the coming weeks. It will be taking place from Friday the 10 March to Sunday the 12 March 2017, at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cwlwmceltaidd.org\/info\/location\/\">Grand Pavilion<\/a>, on the Porthcawl seafront.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamie Smith\u2019s Mabon headlining and Calan confirmed for Wales Interceltic Festival<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":288,"featured_media":34229,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[5712,5713,5714,189,5715],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-34117","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","tag-calan","tag-cwlwm-celtaidd","tag-jamie-smiths-mabon","tag-music","tag-wales-interceltic-festival"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
