Programme of a Competitive Concert or Eisteddfod held at the Dill Hall in Llandeilo / Llandilo on 6 December 1923

Description

By the end of the nineteenth century, Llandeilo had its fair share of performance venues, such as the chapels, the Civic Hall (or Drill Hall / Victoria Hall), Market Hall, and St Teilo's Church. These hosted countless concerts, fundraisers, and eisteddfodau, which drew audiences from far and wide. At one time, several eisteddfodau were held in the town each year, such as the 'Semi-National Eisteddfod', the chapel eisteddfodau, the children's eisteddfod, and general eisteddfodau, which were also known as 'Competitive Meetings' such as this example. Ammanwy (Amanwy) led the proceedings at this Eisteddfod, held at the Drill Hall (Civic Hall today) in 1923. Gweddi y Pechadur by Morfydd Llwyn Owen was the test piece for the sopranos.
