Huw Stephens brings all the highlights and stories from the National Eisteddfod - a vibrant mix of music, dance, art, literature, theatre, circus, original performances and so much more.

One of the biggest festivals in Europe is in Wrexham in north Wales, celebrating the best of Welsh culture – a vibrant mix of music, dance, art, literature, theatre, circus, original performances and so much more.

In our second visit to this week-long festival, Huw Stephens brings all the highlights and stories from the National Eisteddfod of Wales.

He catches up with some of Wales’s top female talent on the main rock and pop stage, including indie rock trio Adwaith, fresh from performing at the Euros.

Huw also attends a special concert paying tribute to a Cardiff music legend and cultural icon, Geraint Jarman, which includes a reggae performance from Aleighcia Scott.

There is a tribute to the miners who died in the local Gresford disaster - an operatic performance commemorating the 266 men and boys who died in an underground explosion in 1934.

Huw also catches up with the new inductees into the ancient Gorsedd of the Bards, including Wrexham soccer star Lili Jones and Game of Thrones and Star Wars actor Mark Lewis Jones. He then hears a diverse and exciting mixture of contemporary folk, bluegrass, jazz and country music at the Ty Gwerin.

Finally, Huw enjoys all the best performances from the big winners of the week – the poets, dancers, bands and choirs, the singers and soloists.
