Campaigning at Y Sesiwn Fawr


Just wanted to update you on the festival some of our lovely campaigners in Wales went to at the weekend. Y Sesiwn Fawr translates as The Mighty Session, and pretty mighty it was too. The beautiful town of Dolgellau is entirely given over to this event, staged on Friday night and right throughout Saturday. The surroundings of the Snowdonia National Park make for a unique festival experience, and the relaxed atmosphere of the chill out field and acoustic tent behind the main stages was a welcome relief from the mania accompanying Goldie Lookin Chain, The Poppies, The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain, Amy Wadge, Hayseed Dixie and former Gorky's frontman Euros Childs, among others...


A massive thanks goes to Rhydian James who came to help us campaign - with his help we managed to get over 250 people to say "I'm in" and show how much they care about ending poverty.
