	Eisteddfod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tradition of such a meeting of Welsh artists dates back to at least the 12th century when a festival of poetry and music was held by Rhys ap Gruffydd of Deheubarth at his court in Cardigan in 1176, but with the decline of the bardic tradition it fell into abeyance.
		The most important eisteddfod is the National Eisteddfod of Wales, held annually in the first week of August and usually alternating between North and South Wales, and taking place entirely in the Welsh language.
		Their Eisteddfod began with Welsh pioneers to the Malad Valley in the late 1800's, but stopped with the outbreak of World War I. In 2004 they reinstated this celebration calling it the Malad Valley Welsh Festival.

	GWYBODIADUR: The Eisteddfod
		Eisteddfod is one of the few Welsh words to have entered the English language – though English dictionaries disagree on exactly what it means – and it has been used all over the world to refer to a competitive cultural festival or celebration of the performing arts.
		The first recorded eisteddfod is thought to have taken place in Cardigan in 1176, though the word itself is not recorded until 1523, when the event became properly regulated as a sort of competitive test of professional aptitude for bards.
		The Eisteddfod is also a big event, culturally and financially, for the host area: it spills over into the surrounding towns in the form of evening events such as concerts and plays.

	National Eisteddfod of Wales Accommodation
		The first International Musical Eisteddfod was held in 1947, with the aim of promoting peace between nations after the war-torn years on 1939-45, through the international language of music.
		The Eisteddfod (which literally means a sitting or gathering) evolved from bardic tournaments which, tradition tells us, began in the reign of Hywel Ddu in the 10th century.
		In 1568, an Eisteddfod was held in Caerwys, at which the following prizes were awarded: a minature silver chair to the successful poet, a little silver 'crwth' to the winning fiddler, a silver toungue to the best singer, and a tiny silver harp to the champion harpist.

		In 2004, the eisteddfod was (unsuccessfully) nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Terry Waite, who has been actively involved with the eisteddfod.

		Inside the tent it was an effort of will to concentrate on goose-pimpled ballerinas hopping about the stage, or, blue-nosed conductors trembling before their choirs when distracted by the ominous gyrations of the canvas roof, or, by the creaking of king-posts swaying like the masts of galleons heading for the reefs.
		In 1985 a special Development Board, representing the International Eisteddfod, was given the task of raising £500,000 to finance the construction of a modem International Eisteddfod complex.
		The document included a proposal for the International Eisteddfod to establish permanent facilities for the exclusive use of the Eisteddfod for 4 weeks in the year.

		The International Music Eisteddfod comes billed as "the world's greatest folk festival" but unlike the National Eisteddfod, which is a purely Welsh affair, the Llangollen event draws amateur performers from thirty countries, all competing for prizes in their chosen disciplines.
		Throughout the week, performers present their works at numerous sites around the town, but mainly in the much-derided 6000-seat white plastic structure designed to evoke the shape of the traditional marquee which was formerly erected on the site each year.
		The Eisteddfod has been held in its present form since 1947, when it was started more or less on a whim by one Harold Tudor.

	Eisteddfod International Folk Festival
		For several years during Eisteddfod we quietly pitched our tents in the very middle of one particularly heavily wooded area about 200 feet from the campus police station.
		One of the most unpleasant features of the present festival is the tendency of certain vendors new to the folk festival "circuit," to loudly play cassettes of recorded music in order to attract customers to their booths to buy them.
		These opportunities have diminished so much, year by year, at Eisteddfod, that many of my fellow folk musicans, amateur and professional, tell me that they no longer attend the festival because it isn't "as much fun as it used to be." So they don't come, their friends and family don't come, and the word spreads.

	Introduction
		The Eisteddfod is by far the largest event of its kind in the world; organised largely on a voluntary basis, its contribution to artistic endeavour and international goodwill is remarkable and widely acknowledged.
		The Eisteddfod has introduced many new features recently; these have included competitions for chamber choirs and traditional folk dancing for children, a parade of competitors on the opening day, matinees for audiences of children and dance workshops.
		International Evening Concerts: Groups/choirs may be invited, at the Music Director's discretion, to perform in the evening concerts.

		The National Eisteddfod of Wales was established in 1860 and is held annually in the first week of August at sites alternating between North and South Wales.
		The origin of the Eisteddfod can be traced to as early as 1176 and the idea of Bardic competitions probably dates much earlier.
		The word loosely translates "to be seated", referring perhaps to both the performers and the audience.

	icWales - Music festival builds relations with the world
		THE first Llangollen International Eisteddfod in 1947 was born out of a love of poetry, some high-minded intentions and maybe, as local folklore suggests, from a milk boy overheard singing at the top of a mountain.
		According to Professor Chris Adams, the Llangollen International Eisteddfod's archivist, the first stirrings of an idea came to Wrexham journalist and British Council officer Harold Tudor in 1943 when he brought representatives of the governments-in-exile to the National Eisteddfod in Bangor.
		This spurred Tudor to organise a full international concert at the Llandybie National Eisteddfod in 1944 and by late 1945 he had formulated his idea of an international choral festival being held as an adjunct to the 1947 National Eisteddfod.
