BELTANE FLAME shot at the Welsh Parliament, (The Senedd), for its 25th Anniversary Year. Part of the Senedd Sessions. Awen’s Call, the Bardic Band recorded three tracks in two sessions at the Senedd’s beautiful atrium space – this early version of Beltane Flame, plus Willow in Winter and the 25th anthem, Dragon’s Fire. In times past, the best of the Bards could be found in high places – castles, royal courts and political circles – sought for their skills and insight by kings and tribal leaders. Today, Awen’s Call is continuing that tradition!
