I have been on several Eisteddfod weekends including last years one. At every one I have heard grand music from performers who were previously only names to me, and have enjoyed the wonderful pervading spirit of camaraderie. Looking at this years line-up I can tell you that the British artists will please everyone, Sheila Stewart comtinues the traditions of her famous singing,storytelling Scottish family. Benny Graham may be less well known to USA listeners, but let me tell you, it's a real scoop to have him there. Benny has a wonderful voice, a heartfelt style, an a terrific store of songs. He is very knowledgeable on the traditions of his native North East England. Miss him at your peril. Have a good Eisteddfod folks. I wish I could be there.
