Celebrate St David’s Day build-up at Brangwyn concert

An evening of Saints, Songs and Celebrations will help mark the build-up to St David’s Day in Swansea. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The event, taking place at the Brangwyn Hall on Wednesday February 24, will include lots of music and entertainment. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

More than 300 children from local schools will be taking part in the celebrations, which start at 7pm. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Some of the schools participating include Blaenymaes, Bishopston, Burlais, Ysgol Gyfun Gwyr, Gwyrosydd, Llwynderw, Penclawdd, Ysgol Gymraeg Pontybrenin, St Joseph’s and Talycopa. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Cllr Robert Francis-Davies, Swansea Council’s Cabinet Member for Enterprise, Development and Regeneration, said: “This concert has always been a terrific success at our wonderful Brangwyn Hall. It really is a fantastic venue for performances of this kind. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“This event won’t just be a great honour for the children taking part. It will also be hugely entertaining for parents and people of all ages who want to go along and celebrate how proud we all are to be Welsh. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“The event also takes place in the middle of the Six Nations Championship, so it will further boost the terrific sense of patriotism we’ll all no doubt be feeling by that point. St David’s Day is a special day on the annual calendar, so this concert is a perfect way to get in the spirit of the occasion as we edge ever closer to celebrating the life of our Patron Saint.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
