The second day of Llangollen Online focused on the celebration of diversity that is at the heart of the eisteddfod.

For over 10 years the festival has run an annual Inclusion Project enabling local groups that would not otherwise have performed in the event to take to the stage. 

The 2020 project had to be postponed due to the pandemic but a special video piece has been released to highlight its importance and this also features a recap on last year’s performance called Tapestry.

With awareness of diversity issues increasing across the globe in recent months, the eisteddfod’s aim of promoting understanding and acceptance through music and dance is celebrated in What Diversity Means To Us with commentary from adjudicators and participants.

“Everyone is invited, everyone is celebrated.” says Michael McCulloch the conductor of The Sunday Night Singers from California who first visited the eisteddfod in 2004. 

The winner of the Llangollen TV Dance Champions category was announced as Gema Citra Nusantara from Indonesia.


Llangollen Online runs until Saturday and further details on the daily programme can be found on www.llangollen.net
