Eisteddfod of Wales

One of the cultures of Wales is the eisteddfod* where  people of all lands sing and dance So many  countries try to get to Llangollen travelling many days  just to perform their dance, song or verse Dressed in national dress of many hues making it a colourful artistic event The crowning of the Bard  Is one of the ceremonies At the eisteddfod in Llangollen to the winner of the poem written in free verse. Whoever wins  is presented with a newly designed crown  A trumpet sounds, prayer chanted Nom de plume read all is revealed * nearest english word is session
