Clwyd South MP Simon Baynes has congratulated organisers on the successful launch of Llangollen Online #connectingtheworld, which is free to view and runs from 1 June until 11 July.
In March, it was announced that the annual Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod had to be postponed due to the global Coronavirus pandemic. In response and to ensure the festival’s international community of participants, performers, visitors and volunteers could stay connected, the organisers launched ‘Llangollen Online.’
Through the Llangollen.TV platform, audiences can watch archive footage of competitions and vote online for their favourite moment at https://llangollen.tv/.
Simon Baynes said:
“The Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod is a firm fixture of our community calendar – and a much-loved international event for visitors from far and wide. And it was an honour and a pleasure to serve as an external Trustee of the International Eisteddfod before I became the MP for Clwyd South.
“It’s so impressive that the organisers have created this online platform as a celebration of music, song and dance from the festival. And it’s a wonderful way to stay in touch with all the fans who come every year and love the Eisteddfod so much."

Mae AS De Clwyd, Simon Baynes, wedi llongyfarch trefnwyr ar lansiad llwyddiannus Llangollen Ar-Lein #cysyllturbyd, sy'n rhad ac am ddim i'w weld ac yn rhedeg rhwng 1 Mehefin ac 11 Gorffennaf.
Ym mis Mawrth, cyhoeddwyd rhaid gohirio Eisteddfod Gerdd Ryngwladol Llangollen flynyddol oherwydd y pandemig Coronafeirws byd-eang. Mewn ymateb ac er mwyn sicrhau y gallai cymuned ryngwladol o gyfranogwyr, perfformwyr, ymwelwyr a gwirfoddolwyr cadw mewn cyswllt, lansiodd y trefnwyr ‘Llangollen Ar-Lein.’
Trwy blatfform Llangollen.TV, gall cynulleidfaoedd wylio archif o gystadlaethau a phleidleisio ar-lein am eu hoff foment.
Dywedodd Simon Baynes:
“Mae Eisteddfod Ryngwladol Llangollen yn rhan gadarn o'n calendr cymunedol ni - ac yn ddigwyddiad rhyngwladol poblogaidd i ymwelwyr o bell ac agos. Roedd yn anrhydedd ac yn bleser gwasanaethu fel Ymddiriedolwr allanol yr Eisteddfod Rhyngwladol cyn imi ddod yn AS dros Dde Clwyd.
“Mae’n mor drawiadol bod y trefnwyr wedi creu’r platfform ar-lein hwn fel dathliad o gerddoriaeth, cân a dawns o’r ŵyl. Ac mae'n ffordd hyfryd o gadw mewn cysylltiad â'r holl gefnogwyr sy'n dod bob blwyddyn ac yn caru'r Eisteddfod gymaint.”
