Trac (traditional music strategic development) is organising workshops at 2.30 p.m., Mon - Fri in the Celfyddydau Gwirfoddol Cymru (Voluntary Arts Wales) marquee. I know that fiddle is Tues., song (for kids) is Wed., and I think Ceri Mathews is doing pipes on ... Mon? Harp may be Thurs. (and several companies have leant us instruments for those who forgot to pack their's) ... and I can't think what I've left out. Hmmm. All will be followed by a sesh. (non-alcoholic of course, in the grand Eisteddfod tradition).

Non-music, but also perhaps of interest, is that Fforwm Crefft Cymru (Wales Craft Forum) will be creating an all-hands-to-the-loom wall hanging throughout the week in Y Grefft for anyone who wishes to take part.

I'll be around on the two Saturdays, Monday and Wednesday and contactable at the trac table.

It's the pits that it's the same week as Lorient!

hwyl,
