Book your tickets now to the Â鶹Éç Radio 4 live recording of the debate programme Hecklers in which Sir Dai Llewellyn, the 4th Baronet of Bwllfa, will argue that "Welsh language promotion has gone too far", claiming "language promotion is harming the economy, image and social cohesion of Wales".

His opponents will have something to say about that and they are Meri Huws, chair of the Welsh Language Board; Dafydd Whittall, chair of the National Eisteddfod Council; Richard Brunstrom, North Wales Chief Constable; and Nic Parry, a local solicitor and Crown Court recorder.

It's no coincidence that the recording takes place during the National Eisteddfod [August 4-11] in Mold at the town's Theatr Clwyd.

To go to the event on August 7, 6.30pm, you'll need to book tickets via email [hecklers@bbc.co.uk]. The programme will be broadcast on Radio 4 on Wednesday August 22 at 8pm and repeated on Saturday August 25 at 10.15pm.

Debates around the Welsh language have getting people hot under the collar on this website for some time and most recently in the messageboard.
