Manon Steffan Ros in Saith Seren, Wrexham

Welsh Meetups/Events
#1

Come along to Saith Seren on the 10th April for a chance to hear Manon talk about her career as a writer and to sing a few songs. Manon has become one of most popular writers of Welsh language books which include many titles aimed at learners/younger people. Manon has also won numerous well deserved awards along the way. She also has a blinking amazing singing voice thrown in for good measure. It’s almost annoying how utterly talented this lady is. :slight_smile:

Please come along to support Manon and Saith Seren, we need both to be here for a long time to come.

Shamelessly bumping this thread, it deserves a good turn out.

Two weeks on Monday remember.

@gruntius please report as much as you can, with pictures!! If the TV folk aren’t there, maybe you or A.N.Other could video it and post it on this thread? (Asking permission for the latter!).

Well i will definitely be there. Mondays have been a tad tricky of late but after this week i’m free again.

But fret not i now know lots of useful welsh words like
Llif gadwyn
Llofruddio
Angladd
Drwgdybio
Stelciwr
Llys coron
Ar brawf
All of which should liven up the conversation.

You really can’t go wrong with any of her books (you won’t be disappointed with Bethan Gwanas either). I have my favourites but they are all good.

Please @Pete2 can you put translations for your word list? I get chain flow for the first and what does that mean?

@henddraig …

Llif gadwyn is a chainsaw
Llofruddio is to murder
Angladd is a funeral
Drwgdybio is to suspect
Stelciwr is a stalker
Llys coron is a crown court
Ar brawf I don’t know but arbrawf is an experiment.

All very cheery stuff. :blush:
