Cambria Band "Raise the Roof" at the official Illumination of the Owain Glyndwr Statue in Corwen.

In a Ceremony involving hundereds of locals and many visiting Welsh dignitaries gathered in the church and on the streets cambria Band performed possibly one of its best sets. The Church audience were treated to some Drum solos then "Gwyr Harlech" (men of Harlech) before leading the procession out into the town square where they played to the waiting crowd and blasted out some old Cymru tunes whilst proudly facing Glyndwr as he was illuminated.

The event was so popular that not everyone was able to get into the church, however they were able to hear the service through the pa system that was set up through the town. 

Photos of the event soon
