ifor The folk tradition in Wales (81* d) The folk tradition in Wales 25 Mar 06


I am interested in discussing the folk tradition in Wales.One of the most exciting bands I have seen is the Boys From The Hill .This is a Swansea band who play urban folk with attitude.They seem underrecognised in Wales and yet are brilliant live .They are fronted by Andy Hill who is a fine songwriter and his song Brechfa Forest deserves to be known far and wide.The band are political and brim with energy and commitment.The "hill" referred to in the name of the band is Townhill one of the poorest parts of Swansea nd a place not seen in the tourist brochures about Swansea or the Gower. Are there any others in the folk tradition you would recommend ?
