How Music on the Meadow began...
At a mid-Wales farm, on the eve of the wedding blessing of Rachel and Neil, an intrepid band of pre-wedding helpers were busy with last minute finishing touches. Suddenly from the bottom of the meadow came the most glorious sound of music. Anwen, Owen and Mairwen were practising to sing at the blessing.
On a beautiful summers evening on Wernwyn meadow, all was right with the world, the music echoed from the hills around and it felt good, the fateful words were uttered, “We must do this again”, and so Music on the Meadow was born.
Music on the Meadow is an open air picnic style concert held at Wernwyn Farm, near Builth Wells. It is run by a group of volunteers from the rural community.
Various charities have benefited from past concerts, they include County Air Ambulance, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Tenovus, Meningitis Cymru and Sands (Still Birth and Neonatal Death Society).
