Event:Gŵyl Tawe

National Waterfront Museum

We are excited to welcome back Gŵyl Tawe! - Swansea’s Welsh language-led festival

Featuring headliners  - GWENNO and MELIN MELYN!

The festival will see performances by a whole host of alternative, contemporary artists who use the Welsh language in varied and exciting ways. The live music will be hosted across both the festival’s main open-air stage in the Museum’s GRAFT garden, and the Ocean Room stage in the heart of the museum.

As well as the live music, there will also be interactive theatre shows for families, performances from local schools, and a variety of creative workshop activities.

Curated by Menter Iaith Abertawe.

Gwenno - Gwenno Saunders has been working as a professional musician and producer for over 25 years and has released 2 EPs, 4 solo full-length albums, and 2 full-length albums with the indie-pop group The Pipettes. As a songwriter and producer, she has won numerous prizes including the Welsh Music Prize 2015 for her debut solo album ‘Y Dydd Olaf’ and was shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize in 2022 for her third album ‘Tresor’. In 2025 Gwenno released her fourth solo album, ‘Utopia’, on Heavenly Recordings.

Melin Melyn - Formed in 2019 by Gruff Glyn (lead vocals, guitar, saxophone), Will Barratt (lead guitar), Cai Dyfan (drums) and Garmon Rhys (bass, backing vocals and who also performs as The Mighty Observer), Melin Melyn was Gruff’s first proper musical project. After a year or so performing as a foursome, the band were soon joined by Rhodri Brooks (pedal steel) and Dylan Morgan (keys), adding further gravitas and completing the sound that the band had been looking for. Their debut album ‘Mill on the Hill’ sees the band jump between surf-rock, country, prog-rock and psychedelia with the grace and skill of a band with numerous records under their belt, held together by an efficacious and fantastical thematic principle.
