Welcome to The FolkWales Listings, which is up and running right now! Please use this website to see folk and roots events, gigs and festivals, happening all over the nation of Cymru/Wales.  Susie Stockton-Link and Cas Smith have asked me to compile, edit and publish the live shows that are appearing immediately and in the coming year, and I have gladly accepted. Huge thanks to Cas, who used to log the local folk gigs for many years but sadly suffered a stroke. Susie valiantly kept Cas’s listings alive while she looked for someone else to take over; and massive thanks to her. In the words of Susie: Let’s keep Folk Music alive!
