Thanks, Peter--I had thought about going to the Swansea Eisteddfod, but I only had 2 weeks of Welsh under my belt and didn't think I'd get as much out of it. Ebbw Vale was my first one and I was on the maes 5 of the 7 days AND had a member of the Gorsedd with me all week. Great fun! I have some stills of the Eisteddfod in my photos. What kind of camera did you use? My videos are not very good.

No Mona, this was Swansea 2006. When I lived in Wales I was an ardent "Eisteddfodwr" and would attend every chance I got, usually working as a Stiward. I've uploaded another video from the same Eisteddfod.
