Thread Name: Eisteddfod (festival of traditional music) US & UK
Subject: RE: Eisteddfod
Good luck whatever Steve.

I don't know how important that issue is but at least to those of us who have lived in Wales, "Eisteddfod" will mean (a type of) festival - I gave links to the National and International. There is also the "Urdd" (youth).

I've never been much of a follower of that scene but have happy childhood memories of a school trip from Glanwydden (Near Llandudno, N Wales) to the International at Llangollen and collecting autographs from people from all over the world, some of which were not in our alphabet... Lovely sunny day too.
