Brand new for Other Voices Cardigan this year we have Clebran on the Trail. A chance to hear from musicians playing at the festival… we’ll be finding out more about what drives their music and what their music drives.
Musician Lleuwen will talk to musician and radio presenter Georgia Ruth about discovering the lost hymns of Wales that give us a glimpse of the historical female experience, previously written out of the hymnbooks.
We ask Eoghan O’Ceannabhain about his political and activist work, as much a part of who he is as his sean-nós singing roots.
Lleuwen joins the Archdeacon of Cardigan, Eileen Davies and Bethania Chapel general secretary and organist David Peregrine. Together they will be taking a historical view of religion and music and beyond.
Electronic music DJ/Producer Phil Kieran talks to Gareth Stewart about the rave scene in 90s Belfast and the power it wielded to unify.
Gareth Bonello/The Gentle Good talks to Georgia Ruth about the shadow of colonialism, language and place names, following his work in Cwn Elan and as part of Khasi-Cymru Collective in North India.
Constance Keane aka Fears and member of M(h)aol tells us about centring the feminist and queer perspective, transforming pain into a powerful message of hope and resistance in conversation with Amy O’Brien.
Clebran on the Trail sessions will take place in the historic Bethania Chapel and Vestry, a Music Trail wristband will get you access to all Clebran on the Trail events, subject to capacity.
