Minsterley Eisteddfod
Minsterley and District Eisteddfod was re-established in 1963 by a group of music enthusaists who wished to encourage young people to develop their acquaintance with music and literature in order to become richer in thought, word and deed.
The Eisteddfod after 49 years has now become an established cultural event in Shropshire, Wales and the Marches, and a function to which many competitors from this beginning have gained the highest honours in the musical world.
The Eisteddfod concert staged the following evening has also become renowned for its excellence. Artists such as Bryn Terfel and Raimund Herincx and male voice choirs Froncysllte and Wessex (Men in Black) to name but a few, have entrhalled audineces over the years.
To organise a musical festival such as this is a feat of major proportiuon and the Eisteddfod is indeed fortunate in having officials whose untiring efforts have, over the years bought both delight and enrichment to all.
