ifor The folk tradition in Wales (81* d) RE: The folk tradition in Wales 26 Mar 06


dear greg,
Wayne has answered your question about the Boys From The Hill.They are excellent songwriters themselves...Brechfa Forest about a mid Wales work camp for the unemployed before the war is great...but they also do a fine version of Lifeboat Mona by Peggy Seeger [?]. My wife says their version of Dark Eyed Sailor is remarkable and indeed it is!!My copy of their fine CD has been snaffled by my son and is now in New York.
I saw them in August at the Pontardawe Festival and they were fantastic....edgy ,great songs ,driving music and plenty of attitude .They often play for good causes and did a gig quite recently for the Balata Refugee Camp in Palestine.This is a band well worth seeing.
They have their own website and should be seen far and wide!!!!
