Episode 2
Huw Stephens brings the best stories and performances from one of Europe's biggest festivals, the National Eisteddfod of Wales, hosted this year by the town of Pontypridd.
One of the biggest festivals in Europe is in the town of Pontypridd celebrating the best of Welsh culture – a vibrant mix of music, dance, art, literature, theatre, circus, original performances and so much more.
In our second visit to this week-long festival, Huw Stephens brings all the highlights and stories from the National Eisteddfod of Wales. He catches up with local band Chroma, fresh from supporting the Foo Fighters on their UK tour, as well as enjoying a host of performances from some of Wales’s top female talent on the main rock and pop stages.
Huw is treated to a stunning candle-lit concert paying tribute to a local singing sensation, Morfydd Llwyn Owen, who died in tragic and suspicious circumstances in 1918 at the age of 27.
He also catches up with singer-songwriter Lleuwen Steffan, who is performing at the Eisteddfod as part of her stirring 50-date tour, where she brings traditional folk hymns back to life through new music.
Huw also enjoys all the best performances from the big winners of the week – the poets, dancers, band and choirs, the singers and soloists!
Eisteddfod 2024 with Huw Stephens brings the best stories and performances from this truly unique event.
