Your paper at this year’s edition of the National Eisteddfod of Wales

IF I SAID that the Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru opens in Ceredigion this weekend, you might well respond with a blank stare.

Unless, that is, you’re Welsh. In which case, you’d know I was talking about the National Eisteddfod of Wales, the great annual celebration of culture, poetry and singing competitions, gigs, plays and exhibitions.

With its friendly market towns, castles, beaches and radical traditions, the county of Ceredigion provides a near perfect backdrop to the festival.
