A few more details...

The official name is now Eisteddfod New York.

The venue will be Polytechnic University in downtown Brooklyn, New York. It's easily accessible by public transportation, and there are public parking garages very close. The Marriott Hotel is directly across the street which borders one side of the campus, and the world famous Gage and Tollner sea food restaurant is just a 5-minute walk away. Stroll another 5 minutes and you are on Atlantic Avenue, the heart of New York's fabulous Middle Eastern restaurant row.

The dates, as stated above, are Friday to Sunday, August 8 to 10, 2003. There will likely be main concerts on Friday night and Sunday afternoon. Otherwise there will be workshops, mini-concerts, classes, panel discussion, presentations, facilitated jam sessions, and spontaneous (leaderless) jams. We might even throw in a dance or two. We are in the process of inviting staff at the present time, and Howard Glasser has been more than generous is advising us. It is too early to mention any names, but let me assure everyone that we will strike a balance between Eisteddfod veterans and newcomers.

This promises to be a grand old time, a grand new time, in fact just a grand time all together. So mark it down on you calendars now.

Oh, yes. We have a website, of course. The address is www.eisteddfod-ny.org or just click here! It's still under construction, so check it out every now and then to see what new information we have added.
