Gwenno appears on Glastonbury stage with huge 'Wales is not for sale' sign

Welsh musician Gwenno appeared on stage at Glastonbury with a huge sign reading "Nid yw Cymru ar werth", which in English means "Wales is not for sale". 

The sign is a display of solidarity with the campaign against second homes in Wales. The Mercury Prize-nominated singer performed her track N.Y.C.A.W, which is the only Welsh-language song on her latest album Tresor, during her appearance at the Somerset festival on Sunday.

The song title stands for 'Nid yw Cymru ar Werth' and the words appeared on a screen behind the singer throughout her performance on the Park stage. Gwenno, who is fluent in both Welsh and Cornish, explains on her website that the single is "a satirical prod at our current neoliberalist thinking".
