Dawnswyr Talog

The first meeting of Dawnswyr Talog dance team was held in September 1979, thanks to three visionary people: Eirlys and Mansel Phillips and Eirwen Davies. Initially, the calendar consisted of local dance ceilidhs (known as a twmpath dawns in Welsh) and occasional exhibitions but, as the team developed, it built its national and international reputation. Today, it is fair to say that Dawnswyr Talog dancers are one of Wales’s most prominent traditional dance groups, and since 1979 they have certainly put the small West Wales village of Talog, close to Carmarthen, on the map!
