Merthyr Rising 06 - June 2-4, 2006
A weekend of events to commemorate the 175th anniversary of the 1831 Merthyr Rising next June is being organised by socialists, republicans and others to celebrate the raising of the red flag as a symbol of Welsh workers' revolt for the first time.
The Merthyr Rising 06 festival will take place from Friday, 2 June, to Sunday, 4 June at venues to be confirmed in the Merthyr area.
If you're in a band or a stand-up comic, we want to hear from you for one of the many socials we're arranging.
If you're a poet, we're organising a Red Poets gig - get in touch.
If you want tickets for the 1st Gwyn Alf Williams memorial lecture, get in touch.
There will be more details to come about the weekend of events, which will include talks, music, poetry, films, debate, visual art, theatre and a historical tour of the area. To join our mailing list, contact the address below.
If you'd like to sponsor or support the event, get in touch.
