CLEBRAN

Cleban is the festival's ideas strand - a place where brilliant minds can gather to share stories, ideas and songs which celebrate the culture ties that bond us together.

Taking place at Mwldan in the heart of Cardigan, this year’s programme Clebran - Flowing Tides will consider the unprecedented challenges of our time, but also the possibilities, opportunities and solutions. These discussions will look at the local and the global, the periphery and the centre, community and wider society, and how small movements can bring about significant change.

This year’s Clebran features a collection of incredible speakers, including Author and broadcaster Jon Gower, harpist Cerys Hafana, Associate Professor of Early Modern History John Gallagher; writer, composer and performer Daf James; writer-director Tracy Spottiswoode; writer, podcaster and journalist Damian Kerlin; journalist and author Richard Fisher, Senior Lecturer in Applied Psychology Dr Sharon Lambert and historian, writer and reviewer Christopher Kissane, along with CN Smith, Deirdre de Bhailís, General Manager of Dingle Hub; Hanan Issa - National Poet of Wales; Rt Hon Mark Drakeford MS, First Minister of Wales; Sophie Mackintosh; and Wayne Howard.
