Eisteddfod Bro Myrddin, Awst 1974


Camarthen and the sun have welcomed the National Eisteddfod, the Welsh language cultural festival. The film-maker's daughter, Miriam, wearing a free hat, enjoys the festival ground with her family (and finds a lost grandfather?). Richard Morris Jones, BBC/HTV presenter, is believed to be interviewing the winner of the crown, William George, solicitor and nephew of David Lloyd George. The first Welsh language rock opera – Nia Ben Aur – was performed at this eisteddfod.
