About me: Welcome to the official MySpace Site for The North American Festival of Wales, the largest Welsh gathering in North America.
What do Tom Cruise, The Osmonds, Chelsea Clinton, Jack Daniel, Leslie Nielsen, Seth MacFarlane & Miranda Cosgrove have in common?
They are among the 4 million North Americans that enjoy a Welsh ancestry.
If your surname is Davies, Evans, Jones, Morgan, Price, Parry, Roberts or Williams you maybe among them.
Our daytime programming will feature four days of interesting and informative seminars, workshops, concerts & much more. The festival eisteddfod again features the David G. Morris Award for Semi-Professional Soloist, with the winner receiving a trip to Wales to compete at the National Eisteddfod. Don't miss this opportunity for fellowship and Welsh culture in Portland, Oregon!

Hey its Sem. Thought I would see how you are. Our myspace is not broken anymore :) The last few days have been a nightmare. Just wanted to let you know if you didn't get my last message that we have a new single coming out next Spring, and if you haven't seen yet we have a new website. www.bensem.com If you become a member you will be one of the first to know the release date. The only reason I mention is that it takes me about 6 months to try and tell everyone on myspace lol. You up to much this weekend? Speak to you soon
Can you help? We are delighted that our album Voices of the Valley Home has been nominated for the NS&I album of the year at this May's Classical Brit Awards at the Royal Albert Hall. It's the only award decided upon by a general public vote, so can you please show your support by voting here is the link. http://www.classicalbrits.co.uk/nominations it cost nothing to vote and only one vote per computer. You have until May the 1st to vote but vote now before you forget.
We would love to produce special episodes for the Saints Days, but we just don't have time to add them in to our already packed schedule. However we do acknowledge the Saints days in our shows, and generally add a blog post on our website about the Saint on the relevant day. This year we actually had an episode scheduled for March 1st, and we discussed a little about Wales and St Davids Day. The episode is called Episode 002 - Let Battle Commence!,You can find the episode here at http://celticmythpodshow. com/episodes/ We also run a poll on our website home page to ask listeners which stories they would like to hear next, and at the moment it looks like we will be reading the tales from the Mabinogion by the spring of 2009 ;0)
glad you liked our music. At least I hope you did.
I must admit I didn't realize that there were Welsh Festivals in America. I (Keith) was born in Wales myself.
All the best from Germany.
Keith & Connemara Stone Company.
P.S. - please help and tell your friends about us. If everyone plays Wild West Wind on the Reverbnation music player that will help us climb the Folk charts. Thanks.
Just to let you all know I have just released my solo album 'Celtic Electricity' heavily Welsh themed... Its available via my web site www. juliandavidedwards. com or in the states on www. cdbaby. com Thanks for your support Julian
