Diolch yn fawr iawn! Wonderful research, Margaret. I’m hoping there’ll be a Plygain service in January I can get to.
Does anyone have any programs from Plygain services? I’d love to know what carols are being sung.
The thing is, often there are no programmes. People are invited to sing and they sing whatever they wish. The organisers will procide some sort of structure, opening prayers, closing prayers, perhaps an explanation of how things will be conducted, including the fact that clapping is frowned upon,. There may also be somw communal hyms. But the main content may not be known. People are sometimes invited to contact the organisers beforehand to say they want to take part, but the congregation is always asked if there are any more contributions.

Ah, good to know. That description is certainly consistent with what I’ve read about traditional Plygain services, so good to know that the tradition holds!

I don’t know if this one has been promoted already, but this one could be a cracker:
This tiny old chapel is in a stunning location - on top of a barren wind swept mountain top with incredible views over Swansea bay and I expect it will be very well attended as well.
I won’t be able to go - I’ll be too busy on Christmas Eve cleaning out the chimney and putting out the mince pies.

I’ve been trying to find details of plygain near Machynlleth, and have been told that they’ll be held in Darowen on 8 January, and Mallwyd ( a plygain hotspot) on 13 January. Does anyone have any more details?

I was given this list of upcoming gwasanaethau plygain, including the ones in Darowen and Mallwyd, but I’m not sure if any of the others are within reach of Machynlleth. Perhaps your best bet would be to try and contact the local minister/vicar for details?

I’m going to the one in Llanddarog, between Carmarthen and Cross Hands tomorrow, 5pm. And possibly the Llandeilo at the end of the month.
