Welcome to CeltFest The Tour AFTER CARDIFF'S GREATEST EVER RUGBY PARTY - CELTFEST GOES ON TOUR! With an unmissable line-up featuring: CALAN Wales's incredible, dynamic new-wave Folk Band, taking the world by storm! 
Calan is a new, vibrant five-piece folk band breathing new life into traditional Welsh music with sparkling melodies, foot-tapping tunes and a spirited and energetic performance of Welsh step dancing. They blast their way through some of the old favourite reels, jigs and hornpipes with fast paced and uplifting arrangements before melting into some of the most beautiful and haunting songs. Four of the members met up in Sweden in 2005 while taking part in Trac's Wales-Sweden exchange programme, visiting the Ethno summer school. They are all in their teens and early twenties, and come from different parts of Wales - the Lleyn Peninsula, Swansea, Bryn Mawr, Newport and Bangor. "This multi-instrumental five-piece brings grace, daring and sheer joy to a winning selection of reels, jigs and hornpipes." (Gavin Martin - The Mirror) "The dynamic quintet's debut album, Bling, has everything you could want from a record - stunning use of instrumentation, gorgeously crafted songs, sprightly foot-tappers, verve and raw excitement."

THE WOLFE TONES Ireland's Number 1 Ballad Band! "A Night No Rebel Should Miss!" 
A thunderous detonation of pure emotion! The phenomenal Wolfe Tones - celebrating 45 years together - have delighted audiences all over the world with thrilling ballads and songs of Ireland. Following their last triumphant visit to Cardiff more than three years ago, the fierce and mighty Wolfe Tones, Ireland's greatest Rebel Band, return for a brand new tour, appearing for one-night gigs in Pwllheli, Llanelli, Caernarfon and Cardiff in Wales with one night gigs in London and Edinburgh. Known for their uncompromising portrayal of Ireland's troubled - and now all too often forgotten - history, The Wolfe Tones' repertoire features some of the great classical rebel songs and ballads in addition their own stirring compositions, celebrating the deeds of the heroic men and women who gave their lives for their country's freedom. Any evening with The Wolfe Tones will be a rousing, uplifting and electrifyingly emotional experience with music and song which goes straight to the heart. As Wales experiences her own 'rocky road to freedom', the art of the Wolfe Tones will open the eyes to the long, brave and resolute struggle of the Irish nation for independence and dignity among the nations of the world.
On the 28th, 29th and 30th The Wolfe Tones will be joined by Welsh folk legend Dafydd Iwan, Wales's Number 1 balladeer.
