Glad to be put right on Guto Nyth Bran, Nigel. We can establish: 1) He was born in 1700; 2) He did not run to Newport and back, but to Pontypridd (which is a distance of 7 miles, NOT 30 - how silly of me); 3) "Wellwishers" did not slap Guto on the back - Sian-O-Siop did. 4) He was named Griffith Morgan, but his parents moved to Nyth Bran farmhouse. It really is a lovely site - and while you are there, check out Frank Hennessy's Celtic Heartbeat as well. Frank does an astounding show!
