Subject: RE: Welsh language folk music
Mmmm ! It's a year or three since I enjoyed a "Welsh Night" at the "Black Horse" at Chislet, or the "Bull" at Adisham or any of the pubs and clubs on the Kent Coalfield - But there was enthusiasm for the Tounge of Heaven then.

My only dislike of traditional Welsh singing is the way it has been hijacked by the linguistic purists. - For "Cosher Bailey" is as much of tradition as any other Folk Ballad.
