St. David’s Party / Parti Gŵyl Dewi

Thanks to all involved in organising our online Zoom party to celebrate St. David’s Day last Monday 1st March and to all those who attended and contributed with chat, songs and quiz answers to a very enjoyable evening.  Circumstances forced us to hold our celebrations online for the very first time, but that brought the benefit of enabling people from all over Ireland to participate without leaving their homes.  Who knows, we may have set a precedent that will continue in future years.

If you’d like to read some more information about the evening and see some photos and videos, go to the News and Events page on our website.


Diolch i bawb a fu’n cymryd rhan mewn trefnu ein parti Zoom ar-lein i ddathlu Dydd Gŵyl Dewi ddydd Llun diwethaf Mawrth 1af ac i bawb a fynychodd ac a gyfrannodd gyda sgwrs, caneuon ac atebion cwis i noson ddifyr iawn. Fe wnaeth amgylchiadau ein gorfodi i gynnal ein dathliadau ar-lein am y tro cyntaf, ond daeth hynny â’r fantais o alluogi pobl o bob rhan o Iwerddon i gymryd rhan heb adael eu cartrefi. Pwy a ŵyr, efallai ein bod wedi gosod cynsail a fydd yn parhau yn y blynyddoedd i ddod.

Os hoffech chi ddarllen ychydig mwy o wybodaeth am y noson a gweld rhai lluniau a fideos, ewch i’r dudalen Newyddion a Digwyddiadau ar ein gwefan.

Happy St. David’s Day! Dydd Gŵyl Dewi hapus!

Draig Werdd – the Welsh Society in Ireland wishes you a happy St. David’s Day on March 1st, wherever you happen to be in the world.  We will be holding an online Zoom party from 7.30pm onwards on Monday evening to celebrate the occasion – you can see the details at http://www.welshsociety.ie/st-davids-day-party-01-03-2021-parti-gwyl-dewi.

This year we have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to use the beautiful illustration of St. David below to promote the occasion.  This was created for us by Draig Werdd member Gwyneth Wynn o Gaora who lives in Connemara.  Thankyou Gwyneth for your very generous and beautiful gift.

Byddwn yn cynnal parti Zoom ar-lein o 7.30pm ymlaen ar nos Lun i ddathlu’r achlysur – gallwch weld y manylion ar http://www.welshsociety.ie/st-davids-day-party-01-03-2021-parti-gwyl- dewi.

Rydyn ni wedi bod yn ffodus iawn eleni i gael y cyfle i ddefnyddio’r llun hyfryd o Dewi Sant uchod i hyrwyddo’r achlysur. Cafodd hwn ei greu i ni gan aelod Draig Werdd Gwyneth Wynn o Gaora sy’n byw yn Connemara. Diolch i chi Gwyneth am eich anrheg hael a prydferth.

“Gwlad” an online St David’s day celebration concert

Helo o orllewin Cymru, Hello from west Wales,

We wanted to take this  opportunity to share an exciting project that we have been working on here.

Last year we created a Community Interest Company ‘The West End of Wales, a collective of professional Welsh musicians who are currently out of work due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Founded by Laura Llewellyn-Jones and Iestyn Griffiths, we are actively supporting out-of-work professional Welsh-musicians and creatives and providing them with much needed paid working opportunities. The WeoW also recognises the impact of COVID-19 on the future generation of Welsh musicians and is working to minimise this by mentoring and inspiring the young musicians of the future through their education collaboration schemes and community projects.During lockdown we’ve been working together creating videos, which have been shared on our social media pages reaching far and wide.

Now we knew, that sadly our celebrations for St David’s Day on March the 1st wouldn’t be the same as normal.

Whilst we may not be able to celebrate in person, it does give us a fantastic opportunity to share our celebrations with Welsh communities across the world.

So, we’d like to introduce to you ‘Gwlad!’ a showcase that will see some of Wales’ finest performers and entertainers come together for a virtual concert to celebrate the day of our patron saint.

The concert features Welsh stars Rhod  Gilbert, John Owen-Jones and Lucie Jones along with performances from The Cory band, Only men aloud, Claire Jones with Chris Marshall, Choirs for good ,Kizzy Crawford, Rhydian Jenkins, Aaron Pryce- Lewis, Morriston Orpheus choir, Bella voce, Fanfare trumpets of the Welsh  guards… and us, The WEoW.

Here is a link to the concert website, as a thank you for you support we’ve included a discount code. At checkout please use Body1
