This is of course unfair. He was hobnobbing with the Welsh Eisteddfod, which is just a bunch of silly people dressing up in make-believe "Druidic" attire and pretending to be ancient Welsh bards. The whole thing was made up in the late 18th century by a fellow calling himself Iolo Morgannwg - his real name was Ed Williams, which just doesn't have the authentic Druidic ring to it . . .
