Pererin Wyf #3 Gareth Bonello: Deialogau Diwylliannol Cymreig a Chasi

Pererin Wyf / Is Oilithreach Mé / I am a Pilgrim is a participatory arts project seeking to connect with the Welsh and Irish diaspora with particular reference to Pembrokeshire and Wexford and a new cross-border pilgrimage connecting these places. The project takes its title and inspiration from an 18th century hymn by the prolific Welsh writer William Williams Pantycelyn.

This third session of Pererin Wyf / Is Oilithreach Mé / I am a Pilgrim took place on 27th October with a presentation by musician and song writer Gareth Bonello who shared his experience and the music he recorded as a result of working with musicians in Meghalaya, North East India. This work was inspired by the Welsh Methodist mission that travelled to Meghalaya in the nineteenth century taking their hymns with them including those of William Williams, Pantycelyn. Gareth’s presentation was in Welsh with simultaneous translation.

Pererin Wyf has been commissioned by the Ancient Connections Project led by Pembrokeshire County Council with partners Wexford County Council, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority and Visit Wexford. It is funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Ireland Wales Co-operation Programme.
