Thread Name: Lyr Req: Wolfhound / Beth Gelert...the Greyhound
Subject: RE: Wolfhound
Hi Rhiannon,

Are you saying that the wolfhound story is wrong or just the Rhiannon one?

I know Alan researched it at the time, and his version is pretty much the information he got from the information available about Beddgelert, and an old poem.

At the time we didn't have Spencer's poem written above, so yes the "lord" ended up with the wrong name. Maybe next time he'll sing it as Llewelyn. (Bear in mind it was written by an Aussie, from a vague recollection of a story by an Irish girl...... I think he did a good job.)

There are a lot of people visit this site.... from all over the world, so we don't get everything accurate about other people's countries and, traditions and heritage.... that's what makes this site interesting...... we're here to learn about each other too...... as well as the music.

So please feel free to correct us.... and give us more info on Wales.

Slainte
