"I’m very excited to see the reaction of attendees when Meinir Gwilym takes the stage." Festival Curator Lorin Morgan-Richards states, "There is no greater musician right now that has yet to perform in the states, for those into Celtic and folk music world, it will be like seeing John Lennon for the first time. Meinir will be performing songs from her upcoming album which will be available at the show. The Cinefamily Silent Movie Theater is a historic venue that has seen many famous faces grace its stage as guests from Vaudeville up through contemporary acts, and being in Hollywood, the Welsh festival also has had generous support from Welsh stars like Michael Sheen, Ioan Gruffudd, Henry Thomas, and the Frank Lloyd Wright family."
