Mari Lwyd pays a visit to New Light 2008
A Christmas event designed to celebrate local life, people and culture has taken place in Bridgend town centre.
New Light 2008 saw huge images of local people and places from around the county borough digitally projected onto the recently restored architecture of the Graham Paul building in Dunraven Place.
The event began with a children’s lantern parade through the streets of the town led by the Coytrahen Mari Lwyd group.
Live music from the likes of Bridgend Male Voice Choir, singer-songwriter Phil James and local bands All For The Fall and Dog Day Life entertained the crowds alongside drama performed by Bridgend Youth Theatre and written by Voices Of Wales playwright Gary Owen.
New Light 2008 was funded by the Arts Council of Wales, Bridgend Community Council, Bridgend Festivals Committee and Bridgend County Borough Council.
