24 T129 Listen and read the text about the Eisteddfod. Answer the questions: Is ‘Eisteddfod’ an English word?
What does it mean?
Eisteddfod is one of the few Welsh words well-known outside Wales. This is the Welsh name for an annual competition where people meet to dance, sing and read poems.
An International Eisteddfod is held annually in Llangollen and the Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales is held annually in North and South Wales alternatively. The tradition dates back to early history and there are records of competitions for Welsh poets and musicians in the 12th century.
The origins of music in Britain lie in the songs sung and dance music played by ordinary people, passed from village to village and handed down in unwritten form from generation to generation. The Eisteddfod is the most important festival in Wales and the largest travelling cultural festival in Europe.
