Harpist to star at Eisteddfod
Former Royal Harpist, Catrin Finch, is the latest star to be named in the line up for the 2019 Llangollen Eisteddfod.
Catrin, a vice president of the international musical festival, joins a line up that already features some of the world’s most talented musicians including Jazz and Blues sensation, Jools Holland, French-Mexican star tenor, Rolando Villazón, salsa, pop and flamenco outfit, Gipsy Kings, and award-winning Celtic music band, Jamie Smith’s Mabon.
Still harpist and composer to H.R.H The Prince of Wales, she is one of the most accomplished and versatile harpists of her generation.
Music Director of the festival, Edward-Rhys Harry, said: “We are very proud to announce Catrin as our next addition to the already star-studded line-up, which spans genres and generations, crossing the boundaries of age, culture and creed. There really is something for everyone and we’ll be adding even more early in the New Year, with the announcement of our Llanfest headliners for 2019.”
Tickets for the festival which runs from July 1-7 went on sale to the general public yesterday and can be purchased online at www.llangollen.net or via the box office.
