All roads in Arcadia be they of iron, water or melting tarmacadam lead to the village of St. Germans in Cornwalia and the Port Eliot Festival in this the Year of Our Lord 2014 where over the forthcoming days I will be in conversation with my old comrade Gruff Rhys, reading aloud at The Caught by the River Antidote Hour, appearing with The Arcadia 78rpm Orchestra and spending time in the very good and staunch company of The Wild Geese. Should you be travelling there also may the road rise to meet you.
