Re: WALES / CYMRU ♣ WV 83 ♣ EISTEDDFOD NF NOW CLOSED; WINNER SENT!
And....araf! Stop voting folks! The lines have been closed, and we have a winner!
The scores are still pretty much the same as in last post due to lack of any more voters, but thanks again ::sg sb for making significant differences in this NF!
Which among the entries will be earning a ticket to Stockholm? Which of the entrants will be bestowed among the Bards of Wales? Is it lo-fi pop? Stand-out pop? Slow melancholic folk? Up-tempo folk? Rock with a powerful message? Feel-good folk with Oriental roots? Sugary-sweet pop? Crazy teen rock? Outer space adventure ditty? Or a Morrissey wannabe?
Stay tuned chaps!

Lyrics
Libraries gave us power
Then work came and made us free
What price now for a shallow piece of dignity
I wish I had a bottle
Right here in my dirty face to wear the scars
To show from where I came
We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk
And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end
A design for life
A design for life
A design for life

I wish I had a bottle
Right here in my pretty face to wear the scars

We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk

Re: WALES / CYMRU ♣ WV 84 ♣ REVENGE OF THE WELSH DRAGON: SOON!
The Manics have been devastated that they didn't make it to the final, but they would sincerely like to thank you all for contributing for the decent 14th place with 56 points!
Next edition will be my last reign in British soil, but with the Blackadder coming home to join the Welsh delegation it will be phenomenal. So get ready for the final episode of Revenge of the Welsh Dragon: The Final Chapter right here on BBC Four!
The end is coming...*faints*

Our artist for WV84 has been chosen but the identity is shrouded by the veil of mystery unless being solved within a timeframe from now until the semi allocation draw.
Our quirky guessing-game is based on Hangman but with a few variations: when a correct letter is given, a random name (whether an icon, place or a cultural/historical landmark) related to Wales and a bit of info about it is presented. If a wrong letter is given, the player has to wait for 12 hours before he could guess again. The limit is one or two guesses per day and player.
And now, let's start! Let's begin with the given name first, then the surname.

Re: WALES / CYMRU ♣ WV 84 ♣ REVENGE OF THE WELSH DRAGON: SOON!
N - Newport (/ˈnjuːpɔːrt/; Welsh: Casnewydd; [kasˈnɛwɨ̞ð]) is a cathedral and university city and unitary authority area in south east Wales. It is located on the River Usk close to its confluence with the Severn Estuary, approximately 12 miles (19 km) northeast of Cardiff. At the 2011 census it is the third largest city in Wales, with a city population of 145,700[1] and an urban population of 306,844. The city forms part of the Cardiff-Newport metropolitan area with a population of 1,097,000.
Newport has been a port since medieval times, when the first Newport Castle was built by the Normans. The town outgrew the earlier Roman town of Caerleon, immediately upstream, and gained its first charter in 1314. It grew significantly in the 19th century, when its port became the focus of coal exports from the eastern valleys of South Wales. Until the rise of Cardiff from the 1850s, Newport was Wales' largest coal-exporting port. It was the site of the last large-scale armed insurrection in Britain, the Newport Rising of 1839 led by the Chartists.
During the 20th century, when the docks declined in importance, Newport remained an important manufacturing and engineering centre. It was granted city status in 2002. Newport hosted the Ryder Cup in 2010. The city was the venue for the 2014 NATO summit.
It is the largest urban area within the historic county boundaries of Monmouthshire and the preserved county of Gwent. The City of Newport, which includes some surrounding rural areas as well as the built up area, is governed by Newport City Council.

It's only a short time left before our long-awaited entry shows up, so hurry up!
