So here we are. The programme for Gwyl Crime Cymru 2025 dropped – appropriately – on March 1st, St David’s Day.
I have the great privilege of being Chair of this year’s festival. However, none of this would have been possible without the great work put in by my dear friends and colleagues Sarah Ward, Sarah Todd Taylor, Jacqui Harrett, Gwenllian Williams, Jacky Collins, Chloe Tilson, Linzie Fitzpatrick and Wini Davies. And, above all, without Gail Williams without whom this festival would not be happening!
The philosophy is as it was back in 2020, when the festival launched. It’s about the best in Welsh crime writing. It’s about the best in international crime writing. Gwyl Crime Cymru Festival is about bringing readers and writers together in a space where we can all share a drink and a laugh together.
25 – 27 April, in Aberystwyth. For those drinks, for those laughs, for meeting old friends and making new ones, for chats in pubs and fish and chips on the beach, for those glorious sunrises and sunsets and the best in crime writing – we hope to see you there!
There’s a Negroni waiting on the bar for you…
Warmest wishes,
Philip
Philip Gwynne Jones 
You”ll be a great Chairperson, Phil. Have fun and enjoy the Negroni.

Thanks Yvonne – I must point out that I’m only the chair – there is so, so much work done by the committee and our Festival Organiser GB Williams.
