After this they went on to play a spot in the International Eisteddfod[2], and the very same day as making this appearance in Llangollen the five travelled down to Dolgellau and performed in Ty Siamas[3] as part of the Sesiwn Fawr 2007[4]. They also made an impromptu appearance at a twmpath held at the Neuadd Goffa in Mynydd Llandegai in early 2008.

[edit] T.V. Appearances

The band were filmed and interviewed for S4C's[5] Sioe Gelf[6] in 2007, and the segment was aired in the same month. There are rumours that they have also completed shooting an article for another programme, but no such article has been aired at this time.

[edit] Development

Calan are confirmed to be playing at the Gwyl Mynydd Llandygai 2008, and are expected to appear at the Interceltique[7] festival in Lorient 2008. They will also be touring with the Canadian ensemble, Genticorum[8], in October of 2008.
