This time I estimate that there are ± 4300 shows of various sorts going on .... there's bags of Scottish music of course, loads of Appalachian music, English music, Irish music, Delta blues, French music, Latino music, Asian music, Canadian music ... and could I find any Welsh music. No. Not that I could find.
I know it's a big time of year for music festivals in Wales ,.. but come on folks ... surely somebody, some collection of musicians could have put in an appearance. If you're one of them, and I haven't found you ,please let me know.
But worry not ! There is something Welsh in this 80-ton catalogue .... it's in the Theatre section ...
I did get a bit excited when I found a show called CWTSH. But it turned out it wasn't really Welsh, it was just the performer who was about 3% Welsh. so it seems to be just 1 out of 4300 Fringey things that are Welsh.
Appalatian ... loads. Third World ...loads. Irish ... loads. Harps ... loads. Accordions ... loads. Bands ... loads. Choirs ... loads. But it seems that Wales and its culture are not interested in putting in an appearance at one of the world's leading cultural events. Just saying !
