We are delighted to announce the full programme for performances on the Eisteddfod Field during the festival.  These complement and add to the competitions in the Pavilion and the evening concerts.  This year sees the launch of ‘Access All Areas’, a Day of Arts in the Community on the Sunday of the festival as well as a great variety of acts and entertainment on each day.  A Ground Admission Ticket gives you great value – and a place in the unreserved seating in the Pavilion too (subject to availability – and you can upgrade to a reserved on the day too).

Elin Fflur; Elin Fflur's astonishing voice and gift for melody have made her one of Wales' most exciting young artists. The unique style and soul of her new album Hafana combine rock with the grit, storytelling art and irresistible melodies of her Welsh roots. Born on Anglesey in 1984, Elin grew up on the island speaking Welsh and surrounded by music. “It's always been around, from my very earliest memories” she says. In her early teens, Elin began to write and perform her own rock songs: “I rebelled by that age, I loved rock'n'roll” she says. Hafana, her new album, springs from the same combination of rock attitude and folk melody, the lure of the wide world and the inescapable draw of home. “The title's a play on words” explains Elin. “I'm fascinated by Havana, the place - but in Welsh, it also means a place to escape to, a haven. Many of my lyrics are about escaping from things even escaping from reality, especially the realities that hit you when you leave home and go out into the world by yourself.” But even since finishing Hafana, Elin's pace has not slowed. She is currently presenting a Welsh music road-show, Nodyn, coming to S4C in mid-June, working on more tv projects and looking forward to touring the album. “I love playing live and meeting an audience it's my favourite thing” says Elin. ”With this album, I want to take my music to more people. I'd like to travel the world singing then come back to Wales of course!”  Recently Elin dueted with “Rhydian” Roberts (X Factor) on his latest tour...  www.elinfflur.com
