EXPLAINED: Rapper can t perform at national eisteddfod due to welsh language policy | Vintage Vibes

A Welsh rapper has said he won't be performing at this year's National Eisteddfod due to the festival's Welsh-language policy. Sage Todz, from Penygroes in Gwynedd, shot to fame in March of last year after he shared a video of him performing a Welsh-language drill.

Since then the young musician's career has gone from strength to strength with him rapping both in English and in Welsh as well as releasing the World Cup soundtrack, O Hyd, for the men's Wales team in November of last year. On Twitter the rapper announced however that he wouldn't be performing at the National Eisteddfod.

He posted: "For anyone wondering, I won't be performing at Maes B or Eisteddfod this year due to the Welsh language policy they have in place. Essentially there's too much English in my songs."
