Drinkers in pub in Wales thrown out for singing in Welsh
About a group of 30 people broke into song in the pub.
A pub landlord has defended his decision to ask a group of customers singing in Welsh to leave his establishment.
Jared Dunn, who runs the Blue Bell on Castle Street in Conwy, explained that around 30 people began singing loudly during a busy Saturday afternoon, causing other patrons to leave and not finish their meals.
"We have run the pub for 11 years - we don't do singing," he stated.
TV and weather presenter Sian Lloyd took to social media to express her shock at the incident, tweeting: "Friends of mine have just been thrown out for singing in their native language."
She further criticised the pub, stating it was "scarcely credible such a frightful pub exists in Cymru".
However, Dunn insisted that the issue was not about the language of the song but rather the disruption caused.
"This has nothing to do with singing in Welsh. We do open mic night and have bands in the pub but people were bursting into song.
"If they were vaping inside the pub we would ask them to leave - there's house rules."
He added that a doorman asked the singers to leave after he heard them from the kitchen.

"They were singing the national anthem which was beautiful, so we asked them to stop after it ended.
"The doorman was dealing with it. Another doorman came in from next door."
Dunn concluded by saying: "The pub is for everyone's enjoyment, and they didn't conform to a reasonable request."
