As I've previously mentioned, this week sees the annual Festival at l'Orient. When the Festival des Cornemuse at Brest metamorphosed into the Festival Interceltique at l'Orient but without all the Celts, as there wasn't much thought of the Welsh (the only Celts who have a living and expanding language), especially that the organisers themselves seem to be Bretons transmogrified into children of the Franks, with the loss of the collective Breton memory that that entails. They are forgetting, probably the oldest alliance in the world, that of the continental Britons with their insular counterparts. The French naturally enough have always been allies of the Irish and together with their ignorance of the Political set-up in the United Kingdom, the Irish are Celts, whilst the Welsh are deemed English, ipso facto Brittany's cousins and all of the saints and the founders of Brittany were Irish, notwithstanding that the Bretons are Welsh and Cornish in origin and that five out of seven of their founding Saints or Archbishops were Welsh by birth (none were Irish). No heed was taken of the fact that they chose the week of the largest indigenous cultural festival in Europe, which has been going since the 19th century all in its home language of Welsh,thereby depriving the festival of potential contributions; that is an offence to Inter-Celtitude. This week has Galicia in Spain, off the northern border of Portugal as the Celtic Country of honour, today they speak a Portuguese dialect but at one time it contained the land of Bretoa,which together with Breizh or Letavia (Brittany), Kernow (Cornwall),Cymru (Wales), Cumbria and Strathclyde all on the western seaboards formed independant British kingdoms who spoke a common Brythonic or Brittonic language. England and Scotland usurped the name '(Great)Britain' on their union in 1707. Ireland has Gaelic as its language which was exported across the water by the Irish Scots via their enclave kingdom of Dalriada on the Pictish west coast. The first King of the new united Country north of England was Kenneth McAlpin King of the Picts who later changed his title to King of the Scots and took in the Britons of Strathclyde: The English took in the Britons of Cumbria, which leaves Cymru/Wales and Breizh/Brittany
