Noson LawenNoson llawen – Not a proper name; should not be capitalised. And "llawen" is misspelled. With a single 'L', it seems to refer almost exclusively to Noson Lawen (TV series) and a production company associated with it.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  11:00, 22 July 2023 (UTC); rev'd. 12:30, 22 July 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Adumbrativus (talk) 04:35, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect description

The definition here is not correct - twmpath is the Welsh term for something like a cèilidh, with live music and dancing. A noson lawen is more like a kind of variety show, with singers, comedy, storytelling/anecdotes and other kinds of entertainment, for an audience. The long-running S4C show of the same name is described as a variety show:

See also the definition of noson lawen in the Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru (https://www.geiriadur.ac.uk/gpc/gpc.html), the most authoritative dictionary of the Welsh language, as a subhead under noson:

•  noson lawen: an evening of informal entertainment (e.g. formerly in a wake, a welcoming-home party, &c.) consisting of singing, story-telling, dancing, &c. (now usually arranged as a concert and held in a public place).
