Gŵyl Tegeingl
edit
Gŵyl Tegeingl is a folk festival held in Mold (Flintshire) in August every other year, beginning in 2008. Between festivals, the festival committee organises occasional concerts and twmpathau.
The aim of the festival - held close to the border between Wales and England) is to incorporate the best of Welsh and English folk music together with that of other cultures worldwide; the first three festivals have included performers from Wales, England, Ireland, Scotland, Canada, Australia, France and the United States. There are concerts, workshops, lectures and dance, together with a Stomp (a Welsh language poetry slam and a Plygain Haf, an informal presentation of Welsh summer carols.
