The first-ever UK BSL Americana Music event brought music lovers and the Deaf community together for a night of unforgettable performances—all in support of repairing the historic St Andrew’s Church roof in Cardiff.
The sold-out, “Celebration of Celtic Americana Voices” event featured a stellar lineup, including Grammy-winning Nashville artist Mike Farris, Hegsy and The Elements, Llantrisant Male Voice Choir, and Cardiff Methodist Community Choir. Guests enjoyed a menu blending Southern U.S. and Welsh cuisines, adding to the night’s unique cultural celebration.
Fully BSL-interpreted, the evening closed with a powerful, all-artist rendition of Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” available to watch here: https://youtu.be/i6M1SomIu1c
The event raised over £1,000 towards the reconstruction of one of Cardiff’s oldest churches, proving that music, inclusivity, and community spirit can make a real difference.
