Its a big stroke of luck, but I’m going to the British Isles for a family reunion next August, and I should be able to get away for at leasta part of this festival. It looks like it’s time to clean up my Radagast costume.
I just wish I could figure out how to pronounce Machynlleth! ( I think its pronounced something like ma cunth-clith or ma-cunk-clith)
I had just seen the call for papers on a specialized site and I was thinking about submitting the news to you guys. Too late!:P
Well, PH, you might ask Teciltur about that one, he studies Welsh.:D
