Festival of Welsh Composers

““We have WELSH composers. All my life I have wanted to put the Welsh composer on the map and I was determined to do something about it.” - John Edwards

[Festival of Welsh Composers @GwylCyfansoddi]

Following the example of John Edwards, founder of the Welsh Music Guild, we seek to promote the work of Welsh composers and to encourage Welsh performers to programme their music and to take it out to the world

I've added my tribute to @HoddinottAlun, written for the opening of BBC Hoddinott Hall - with many added links and some music links (including too radio interviews with Alun) to my website. There's still some work to do but it's 99% there.
