A singer-songwriter is campaigning for Wales to be allowed to compete at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Sara Davies, from Llandysul in Ceredigion, said it did not "make sense" that Wales was "not allowed to compete as our own nation and that we have to go as part of the UK”.

She said the response to her campaign, Wales4Eurovision, had been "brilliant".

A Eurovision spokesperson said there were "no plans" to change the current arrangement.

Ms Davies has released a song called Anfonaf Angel (I Send an Angel), with an accompanying music video, as part of her campaign.

The singer, who was the the winner of this year's Cân i Gymru talent competition, described the music video as "Eurotastic".

She said the song was a powerful anthem about peace, which was "very appropriate" for their campaign.

“The response has been brilliant. I had no expectations, but I was hoping it would be a brilliant response and it definitely has been," she told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast.

'We're the land of the song'

“Loads of people are sharing the posts on social media, loads of people are commenting and saying Wales should be allowed to compete.

"We want to be included in Eurovision, and we want people to root for us to be included in Eurovision.

“We’re the land of song, we’re known for being a country with amazing singers and composers."

The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual televised competition organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

The UK, which has taken part in the competition 65 times, is one of only five countries guaranteed a place in the final.

A Eurovision spokesperson said there were "no plans" to change the current arrangement.

"As the British EBU Member that takes part in the Eurovision Song Contest, the BBC represents the whole of the United Kingdom in the competition," the spokesperson added.
