Around 1,500 children from 31 schools across Pembrokeshire came together to celebrate Dydd Miwsig Cymru/Welsh Language Music Day with four unforgettable gigs filled with live music and entertainment.
Headlining the celebration at the Queen’s Hall, Narberth, was Candelas, one of Wales’ top bands, who delivered an electrifying performance. Pupils also enjoyed a vibrant DJ set from DJ Daf, bringing the Siarter Iaith mascots, Seren a Sbarc, to life with their favourite Welsh music—creating a fun and engaging atmosphere throughout the day.
The event on February 7th was co-organised by Pembrokeshire County Council’s Education Department, as part of their Welsh Language Charter work, and Menter Iaith Sir Benfro, who promote the Welsh language across the county.
Welsh Language Development Officer Catrin Phillips said: “Pembrokeshire pupils embraced the spirit of Dydd Miwsig Cymru, showing that Welsh-language music is not just thriving—it’s louder and prouder than ever!”
Dydd Miwsig Cymru is an annual event dedicated to celebrating and promoting Welsh-language music across Wales and beyond. It aims to inspire people of all ages to explore and enjoy the wealth of music created in Welsh, from traditional folk to rock, pop, and contemporary sounds.
