Dolgellau: Sesiwn Ioan Rhagfyr A traditional music session that meets monthly at Gwesty Gwernan, near Dolgellau. The name of the session is inspired by Ioan Rhagfyr (1740 -1821), who was born in and lived in Dolgellau. He was one of the first known players of the flute in Wales. He also composed dance music for the flute, as seen in the group pic. The session, whilst it mainly reflects the inherited music of its locality, is open to all kinds of music and acoustic musicians such as singers, fiddlers, accordionists, pipers, banjo players, harpers and so on.
