Dewi passed away at the age of 76 after a short illness just a few days after last year’s National Eisteddfod.

On Monday night, a special concert called Nwy yn y Nen gave the audience a chance to remember Dewi and sing along to some of his most popular songs.

Many of those who came to the Maes stage on the warm evening wore red neckerchiefs - a signature look of Dewi Pws.

His wife, Rhiannon, said Dewi would have loved the idea of a concert celebrating his music.
