Noson Lawen (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Noson Lawen is a long-running Welsh language television series first broadcast on S4C in 1982.

The term Noson Lawen translates roughly into English as Fun Evening. The programme takes the form of a variety show, with a different host every week. Presenters have included Gillian Elisa, and guests include not only Welsh-speaking performers like Dafydd Iwan, Robin Huw Bowen and John Ogwen, but international stars such as the quartet bond.

In the show's early years the audience were seated on straw bales, with various performances taking place on a farm trailer. Today the show is recorded in various indoor locations (mainly farm buildings or leisure centres and sometimes TV studios) throughout Wales.
