Thread Name: The folk tradition in Wales
Subject: RE: The folk tradition in Wales
I should have added that, along with Calennig and some others I found during my search, I discovered Siwsann George's Traditional Songs of Wales CD. It's a treasure, and her loss is tragic; she was a truly wonderful singer.

But that's not, as I think you'll see from my plaint for field recorded authenticity above, what I seek at the moment. I'm looking for the people she learned from. The equivalent of the Sarah Makems of this world, rather than the Tommy Makems, if I may use an Irish parallel.
