Croeso! Welcome to The FolkWales Listings, which is up and running now. Please use this website to see folk and roots-linked events, gigs and festivals, which at this moment are happening all over Cymru/Wales.

I want to pay tribute to the wonderful Cas Smith (pictured here), who  passed away in Morriston hospital a few days ago. Cas was the shining star of the South Wales folk scene; among many of her attributes, she looked after the Valley Folk Club website and the Casbar folk listings for many years. She also regularly drove down the motorway to Llantrisant Folk Club, where she attended our Wednesday nights and Sunday morning AGMs. However, she suffered a bad stroke; her friend, Susie Stockton-Link, put out an appeal for someone to take on the Casbar website, and I quickly responded. I wanted to honour Cas, and I’m determined that The FolkWales Listings will continue forever to salute her memory.

If you want to go to an event, do please contact the organiser. Many agencies and folk clubs do tell me when there’s a cancellation, but occasional glitches are bound to slip through. Having said that, get out tonight and enjoy the gig – and keep folk music alive.
