The London Welsh and Soft Power

There is no city on earth outside of Wales with such a longstanding, influential, and thriving Welsh community as London. Alongside the well known religious, academic, and sporting footprints, there is a vibrant community built around government, the professions, culture, and business. Each year, around St David's Day, Wales Week London acts as a focal point to platform talent, make connections, and build up Wales's soft power as the biggest event in a global network of Wales Week centres. Joining us to discuss the soft power of the London Welsh, the potential for Welsh businesses, and the perceived problem of 'brain drain' the union's capital city, are: Dan Langford, Founder of Wales Week London: https://twitter.com/DanJLangford Ceri Wyn Griffith, Chief Executive of the London Welsh Centre: https://twitter.com/ceri_wyn Ann Ellis, Chief Executive of the Mauve Group of Companies: https://twitter.com/annmauve For all the latest from Wales Week, visit: https://walesweek.london And visit the London Welsh Centre: https://londonwelsh.org To stay in touch with us at the pod, follow us @HiraethPod on most platforms, including Twitter: https://twitter.com/HiraethPod If you're enjoying the pod, please leave us a rating in your favourite podcast app and, if you are able to do so, please consider supporting us on Patreon from just £3/month: http://www.patreon.com/hiraethpod
