The Festivals in Wales make it absolutely clear why the country is known throughout the world as the Land of Song. Few countries of such comparatively small populations can have such a wonderful abundance of music festivals held throughout the year. The most famous Welsh festivals, of course, are the historic eisteddfodau – a compelling mixture of music and poetry. There are many eisteddfodau held during the year in towns and villages across the country, especially around the time of St David’s Day, but there are three that are especially important.
