31 Jul 04 - 03:21 PM (#1237952) Subject: RE: Welsh National Eisteddfod From: sian, west wales I've just spent the day there. Lovely field, lots of interesting stuff. Quite a variety of European dance troupes for some reason - very colourful. Anyone going should call in to 'my' place - 816/817 to say hello. There'll be biscuits early in the week (as long as they last) but I don't know about tea - seems to be a problem finding anywhere to get water for the kettle! sian |

01 Aug 04 - 07:56 AM (#1238238) Subject: RE: Welsh National Eisteddfod From: sian, west wales We have a Noson Lawen on Wed. night at the Lyceum, tickets £3.00. Trying to get back to the 'old' tradition of a noson lawen, that is - not a concert, more like a Welsh trad. session. We had one at last year's Eisteddfod and it was great. All welcome. sian |

08 Aug 04 - 06:35 AM (#1242435) Subject: RE: Welsh National Eisteddfod From: sian, west wales Quite right, Scooby. Great weather, tons to see just walking around the field, dozens of new CDs and stuff. Some very tempting little lap harps... And a lot of hysterically funny poems. My favourite was about colonic irrigation. Or possibly the one comparing the 24 metres of Welsh poetry to condoms. I've still got a stitch in my side. Great to see Nigel at the Noson Lawen! sian |
