EVENTS - 2018

The 2018 Annnual General meeting was held at 2.30pm on Sunday August 5th in Craft in the Bay on the maes of the Cardiff National Eisteddfod.

St David's Day this year was back to normal, with Clera represented in the procession and then a session afterwards in The Old Market Tavern, our Monday night session venue in the centre of the city.

Clera's South Wales Tune Clubs gave two one-hour performances in the entrance Atrium at St Fagans National Museum of History to a warm reception on Saturday.


Clera is a partner every year in Tŷ Gwerin in the National Eisteddfod which this year will be held in Llanrwst for the Conway County National Eisteddfod from Saturday, August 3rd to Saturday August 10th.
Workshop/sessions are held in each day and we have a stand in Y Bwthyn alongside Tŷ Gwerin.
There are the folk instrumental and folk group competitions during the week: see www.eisteddfod.wales for further information.

It was formed in 2006 to celebrate Clera's 10th anniversary.
Y Glerorfa played to large audiences in the Welsh-led Lorient Inter Celtique festival in 2008
and has played in many concerts across Wales since then.

Y Glerorfa performed four concerts in 2015, the first in Tŷ Siamas Concert in Dolgellau on January 24th.
Our 2015 Summer tour at the end of June included a concert arranged by Cyfeillion Ellis Wynne at Ysgol Ardudwy in Harlech and an open-air performance at Plas Glyn-y-weddw in Llanbedrog, near Pwllheli. We also held a concert in Neuadd Ogwen, Bethesda on Saturday October 3rd.
