Have you ever wondered why there seems to be loads of Irish and Scottish music, but nothing from Wales? ????????????????????????????

Did you know that Deck the halls is a Welsh tune? And did you know that it comes from an ancient Celtic bardic tradition? In fact we have a whole ton of music, songs, and traditions that have ancient origins, including the Mari Lwyd and the world’s oldest harp music.

So why has no-one heard it before?

In this video we'll be looking at the past, present and future of traditional music and customs in Wales, and where you can find the good stuff. #Bardcore

A very special thanks to Phyllis Kinney, Harri Llewelyn, Gerard Kilbride, Gwen Màiri, Jordan Price Williams, Welsh Whisperer, Calan, Angharad Jenkins, Patrick Rimes, Gwilym Bowen Rhys, and Emily Jane Coupland for your knowledge and your support!
