Pan Celtic Festival
The Pan Celtic Festival ((アイルランド語:Féile Pan Cheilteach)) is a Celtic-language music festival held annually in the week following Easter, since its inauguration in 1971. The first Pan Celtic Festival took place in Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland. Its aim is to promote the modern Celtic languages and cultures and artists from all six Celtic nations: Brittany, Cornwall, Ireland, Isle of Man, Scotland and Wales.
Each participating Celtic Nation undergoes their own national selection event in order to determine their representatives for the annual Pan Celtic Festival. The most successful Celtic nation is Wales, with fourteen wins, with Cornwall following closely behind having won ten times. Benjad, who represented Cornwall in 2012 and 2013, became the first artist in the festival's history to have won twice. Isle of Man is the least successful nation, having only won once in 2014. The current winners, as of April 2015, are Cornwall, represented by The Changing Room with the song "Hal an Tow".
== Origins and history ==
Formed in Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland, the Pan Celtic Festival was organised as a music festival to be held every Spring, to promote the modern cultures and Celtic languages through the medium of music. It was originally entitled ''"Gwyl Gerdd Bach"'' ((英語:''"Small Music Festival"'')), by Con O'Connaill, but later changed to the name it is currently known by today. In May 1971, the first festival took place in Killarney; and featured performers from Wales (Phyllis and Meredydd Evans), Ireland (Scoil na Toirbhirte), and Brittany (Les Tregerez Group and Alan Stivell).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gwylbangeltaidd.com/eng/hanes.html )〕
Meredydd Evans engaged in discussions with the event organiser, O'Connaill, following the 1971 Festival, and invited him to the National Eisteddfod of Wales. At the Eisteddfod, O'Connaill met with members from other Celtic nations, forming a committee for the Pan Celtic Festival. Participants from the six Celtic nations of Brittany (''Breizh''), Cornwall (''Kernow''), Wales (''Cymru''), Scotland (''Alba''), Ireland (''Éire'') and the Isle of Man (''Mannin'') took part in the second Pan Celtic Festival held again in Killarney in 1972. It was during this festival that the core structure of the event was finalised following a meeting with committee members. These principles of the event are to promote the languages, musical talents and cultures within the six territories recognised as Celtic nations.〔
