About Fideos Cerddorol

This landmark project brings together academics, archivists, musicians and leading industry figures to establish the history of the Welsh language music video. The central research question is: To what extent do Welsh language music videos have a cultural, political, industrial and aesthetic identity that is distinct from Anglo American productions? 

What impact have Welsh language music videos had on Welsh language culture? What impact did these videos have on the Welsh language music scene? To what extent did the music videos reflect or create the scene? To what emerging talents did it afford opportunities?
