Welsh folk band Calan to perform at Pembrokeshire cathedral
St Davids Cathedral is set to host one of Calan's last performances.
The Welsh folk group, known for its unique blend of traditional and modern sounds, will perform at the cathedral on St David's Day.
The concert begins at 7.30pm, with doors opening at 6.30pm.
MamGu's Café in the Refectory will sell both alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshments from 6.30pm.
Tickets can be bought on the cathedral's website or by calling 01437 722002 Tuesday to Friday.
Calan, a five-member Welsh band formed in Sweden, includes Bethan Rhiannon on accordion, vocals, and clog dancing; Patrick Rimes on fiddle and Welsh bagpipes; Angharad Jenkins on fiddle; Sam Humphreys on guitar; and Shelley Musker-Turner on harp.
The band has received several awards, including the International Band Trophy at the Inter-Celtic Festival in Lorient, France, and Best Band at the Wales Folk Awards in 2019.
Calan has performed for a range of audiences, from 40 people at a garden fete to 26,000 at Fairport Convention's Cropredy Festival in Oxfordshire.
They also had a televised performance at the Royal Albert Hall alongside Sir Bryn Terfel and Sting.
The concert will be one of Calan's final three performances as a group.
