was there a prejudice at the time against welsh language songs by collectors and possibly even the EFDSS?
or may be not a prejudice but just an idea that they should be collecting welsh songs in the english language
it does seem that welsh singers tended towards glee and close harmony singing rather than unaccompanied tradtional was this the influence of the eisteddfod, i am not an expert on the subject and if i am showing ignorance on this matter please correct me
