Our new project ‘TAITH’ is a series of tours by Welsh folk artists - a journey of discovery. ‘Taith’ means both a tour and a journey— a fitting name for a project focused on discovery and professional development. The project will support six Welsh folk acts to perform in mid-scale theatre venues across Wales between Spring 2026 and Spring 2027, to reach new audiences, and further their careers. The project also aims to fill a gap in the availability of management and support for folk artists in Wales.

TAITH consists of three tours by three mid-career acts and three early-career/developing acts. Each tour will consist of two acts, a headliner and a support act. Trac Cymru, as tour management, will organise all aspects of the tours, supporting the artists to develop their careers. The first tour of 7 venues is with Mari Mathias and band as the headline act, launching her new album ‘Cyfarwydd’, with support by Angharad Jenkins and Patrick Rimes. See below for dates and venues information.

The second tour, in the autumn, is with the Gwilym Bowen Rhys Trio + support. Our third tour for spring 2027 is to be confirmed.
