I'm with you, Mick! Gone are the days when we had a half day holiday from school on the day of our St David's Day Eisteddfod ...more's the pity!
But judging by the people I saw around and about on Saturday and Sunday there's a real swing towards having fun and doing stuff for Dewi Sant, so let's push for it.

In casr you didn't see see us... Olly and I were stuck in a traffic jam, viewing the parade from afar - the first and only time when a march was early! We saw the lovely and very talented Bethan Nia Stacey Blythe in the foyer in the Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff Bay (standing room only - the foyer was full to bursting.) A vast number of dancers and musicians from all walks of life celebrated St David's Day in the Senedd. On the Saturday, Dr Price's Fire Band joined the Gwerinwyr Gwent dance team in a Welsh learners' St David's Day twmpath at Abergavenny - and Welshwoman Anne Lister, accompanied by husband Steve, rounded us all off nicely at Dinas Powis Folk Club - cowin' lush!   

I repeat: Now is the time for Wales to declare that Dydd Gwyl Dewi should be a national holiday. We are ready...

I'm a case of the walking wounded as well ... not dancing, but singing and storytelling all weekend in various places. Rather upstaged yesterday in the leisure centre by a very personable dragon, but made up for it at the Dinas Powys club in the evening. Sore fingers now, but it was all very good fun!

Well I'm now shattered!!! I danced Gavottes, Andros, Plins, Bourez (can't spell that one), and lots of other Breton dances I can't even pronounce for 3 hours non-stop last night in the Cayo Arms, Cardiff. Spent all day today parading through Cardiff with my dance team and celebrating Dewi Sant and tonight playing with Calennig for a Twmpath (Welsh Barn Dance) at the University of Glamorgan. It even goes on tomorrow night at the Welsh College of Music and Drama Cardiff, another Twmpath....then I sleep! Gwyl Dewi Sant Hapus-Happy St Davids Day...collapse..........

There were loads of the Tafia here at the Alcester winterfest this weekend, but I didn't see any of them today. Did they all go back to Wales for the big day?

Anyway, in honour of Dewi Sant I sang the song about that place in Ynys Môn at the singing breakfast.

From Splottie at Pattie's.

The Dame has been celebrating since Friday night. Rehearsing Welsh tune swith me on Friday, recording them with me yesterday, and a Fest-Noz in Cardiff last night.

She's now all togged up in her Welsh gear to go on the StDavid's Day parade in Cardiff. There were 8000+ of us last year, it should be a good'un this year too.

Sunday, March 1 is St David's Day in Wales... Anne Lister at Dinas Powys Folk Club (the Cross Keys) rounds off a great St David's weekend, including Saturday's Taffyfest at the Muni Arts Centre, Pontypridd, from 12pm to late (Calan, Bethan Nia, Megan Lloyd, Brygyn, The Performance Crew and bretons Bagad Plougastell and The St Pol De Leon Dancers.)

The bretons are joining Welsh dancers, poets and musicians for the St David's Day parade in Cardiff. Dawnswyr Delyn are accompanying the Wrexham parade. At Cardiff Bay, Bethan Nia and Stacey Blythe doing a show free at 2pm in the Wales Millennium Centre - with all the St David's Day festivities going on, it promises to be a marvellous 24 hours. Wear your daff with pride!
