Subject: RE: Folklore: The music of Wales
Thanks to all for the great posts -
We're carrying on Welsh traditions here in Oregon too - doing 3 plygain carols for our Lessons and Carols service, and I'm doing some other Welsh carols for the Portland Welsh Society Xmas Tea.
Sian - what's the traditional last Plygain song you mentioned?
Dr. P - hope your song book can get published. Hoping that the new Welsh folk music center - Ty Siamas - will also get involved with similar projects, as well as the good folks at Sain.
Buddeg - we're planning a music-centered trip to N Wales next Fall - where's the pub you mentioned? What's on tap?
Peace - for a bit of Welsh music on a great Welshman's radio program, try Frank Hennessy's Celtic Heartbeat, archived on Radio Wales, and you might also like John ac Alun on Radio Cymry.
Diolch yn fawr i pawb, Chris in Portland
