Programme 19

A special celebration of St Teilo's Day from the Museum of Welsh Life, St Fagan's, with Elin Manahan Thomas, and Hywel Gwynfryn presenting.

There's also a chance to hear congregational singing from a church that has been restored to its structure from the end of the 16th century, St Teilo's Church, Llandeilo Tal-y-Bont – the old name for Pontarddulais. This is one of The Museum's most ambitious projects to date. Each year on St Teilo's Day, the people of Pontarddulais are invited to the Museum to celebrate the saint's day.

Dechrau Canu joined in the celebrations, chatted with some members of the congregation, and Elin Manahan Thomas gave a special performance of a period piece of music – Bist du bei Mir by Bach.
