Dydd Miwsig Cymru (Welsh Language Music Day) takes place on Friday, with the annual event aiming to increase the use of the Welsh language, after figures showed a reduction of nearly 24,000 speakers in 10 years.
Friday is Dydd Miwsig Cymru , an annual event which aims to platform artists who perform in the language.
"A day such as today is a great day for those in particular perhaps to enjoy living through the medium of Welsh and to enjoy Welsh music. So I see this day as being very important in terms of us being able to celebrate being Welsh," the commissioner added.As part of Dydd Miwsig Cymru, the Welsh Government has announced £100,000 for grassroots Welsh-medium music.
