That session hasn't been there for quite a while, Mr Red. Now they're at Tafarn Nos Da on the first Monday of every month, and at the Cayo Arms for the remaining Mondays in the month.

Have had only limited success so far re: the 5/4 tunes. Stephen Rees of the group Crasdant (and formerly of Ar Log) tells me he only knows of 2 examples: Cwyn Mam Yng Nhyfraith (Mother in Law's Complaint) a song which is currently played by our folk orchestra - Y Glerorfa - and another piece that immitates some church bells - which I have somewhere, can't remember where.

I can't imagine that either is what you're looking for. If I get any more feedback I'll let you know.
