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).

Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday / Saturday / Sunday

Keri Worth, the Irish songstress (who has also sung under the name of Linda Scanlon) joins us as she launches her solo career this year following eight years as one half of the successful duo Klonakilty. Hailed as Portugal’s most famous and “in demand” Irish singer, she is Algarve-based but was born in County Wicklow.  She began her singing career at the age of 11, achieving success in a number of traditional Irish singing contests before turning professional and heading up Irish band The Rogues. Since 1998, Linda has toured and performed regularly in the USA, Spain, Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland. Expect vocals, guitar, bodhran and tin whistle!
