"It is full of colour and pride, and is very much a celebration of what the Welsh language and Bangor mean to them today."
The performance will feature BLAS Hŷn and BLAS Bach, and will celebrate the Welsh language, Bangor's heritage, and the community.

The vibe at Rhostio's music sessions is effortlessly laid back and cool (Image: Imogen Andrews ) Speaking about the success of their spring and summer music sessions alongside their other rooftop events this year, the events and marketing manager at Rhostio, Imogen Andrews told WalesOnline: 'Even though we are primarily a coffee roastery we do consider ourselves to be somewhat of a grassroots music venue as well. 'We always kind of did music events but it wasn't really until I came on board that we started working with more grassroots promoters, different creatives, different artists and collaborating with other grassroots venues in Cardiff and really trying to sink our teeth into the scene. 'The venue's kind of always been just a space where creatives seem to be drawn to and meet each other and work on projects, have meetings and I think a lot of great events have come out of meetings that people have had here and a lot of those creatives are friends as well. The rooftop has become a buzzing scene for Cardiff creatives, according to people who work at the business (Image: Imogen Andrews ) 'I really think that this part of Cardiff, this area - Crwys and City road is really sort of starting to become a bit of a culture quarter really because we've got obviously us and Paradise Gardens, and then also other music events that happen in like Mec and Sibling, they do Wine Clubs and so do we and I think everyone's just trying to do something different in this area and that's what makes it so special, that's why I love doing these events.' The rooftop music sessions started in March this year, and has become a large part of Rhostio Coffee's identity according to Imogen. She noted: 'I wanted to do something that was just ours because we had a lot of DJs that we'd worked with previously and a lot of creatives that we'd worked with that were friends and wanted to do sets and had seen some of the events that we'd been doing. 'I think the word had just sort of been starting to get around and I ended up with this long list of DJs and performers who wanted to perform on the roof which is just awesome.' Imogen added: 'The first one we did, I did not expect it to be as busy as it was. We had a line all across the bridge. Queues were going all along the street on Crwys Rosd when the first musical sessions were held this year at Rhostio (Image: Imogen Andrews ) 'People were just passing and seeing the queue, joining the queue - cars were just driving by and tooting their horns and we were like, this is crazy. 'We were a lot more prepared for it the second time round and it's just really built from there and when the weather forecast has looked good we've decided to put on the sessions.' Article continues below The business is also in the process of doing some refurbishments on their roof, adding cover, a bar and some heaters so that people can enjoy it in the winter months too for bonfire night and other events held at the site, so we'll be watching this space for other exciting things to come.
