Spinetingling rendition of Yma O Hyd breaks out spontaneously among crowd at the National Eisteddfod

Brilliant footage has captured crowds kickstarting the National Eisteddfod of Wales with a beautiful rendition of Yma o Hyd. The video captures the singing being heard for miles around at Eisteddfod which will give you goosebumps.

The festival, which celebrates art, culture and music in the Welsh language, has returned after two years, with many Eisteddfodwyr (festival goers) flocking to Tregaron in Ceredigion on Saturday, July 30, and Sunday, July 31.

The video, which was shared on Twitter by Arddun Rhiannon, shows the Eisteddfod ground from afar on Sunday evening as hundreds of voices can be heard singing the Dafydd Iwan song. A caption in Welsh which was included with the video on the social media post wrote: "A clear message from Tregaron tonight... Goosebumps".
