24 Dec 10 - 06:02 AM (#3060549) Subject: RE: Llantrisant Mari Lwyd From: GUEST,Dr Price, Cookie-less Ah yes - Calennig were on the BBC-1 Harry Secombe Highway Sunday evening show. The location was Swansea Museum next to the Docks. How well I remember it - the camera showed our Llantrisant Mari Lwyd, and this beautiful, charming young thing, in a new hair-do, with a voice like an angel. Pat wasn't too bad, either... How the years roll by, Pavane. How's Dawn? Can you PM me with your new address? Dr P. |

I t seems too far to walk Thank you |

Hope you get sorted & may see you there. Haven't got Sat-Nag, but have printed multimap stuff. Is it right that the Lewis Arms is nearer Taffs Well and the M4 junction?? |

30 Dec 10 - 05:31 PM (#3064084) Subject: RE: Llantrisant Mari Lwyd From: Mick Tems Warning! I've just spotted some post-code/satnag errors! The Lewis Arms is right in Pentyrch in Heol Goch, next-door-but-one to Mari Party member Viv Amos - NOT the Lewis Arms at Tongwynlais, which is a couple of miles away. The Lewis Arms (Pentyrch) had its postcode incorrectly listed as CF15 7JP, whereas its true postcode is CF15 9PN. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! |

31 Dec 10 - 06:43 AM (#3064337) Subject: RE: Llantrisant Mari Lwyd From: Mick Tems I'vw just had this email from Llantrisant Folk Club member Paul Seligman: "One of my 2009 Mari photos has been selected to appear in a 'World''s Strangest Holiday Traditions' slideshow on a US travel site. As it's in US, for 'Holiday' read 'Christmas'. http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/worlds-strangest-holiday-traditions play the whole thing or go straight to Mari on slide 4: http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/worlds-strangest-holiday-traditions/4 The Llantrisant Mari is (unfortunately) seen disappearing into the New Inn, with the focus being the Carmarthen horse. I didn't think it was my best photo but it's the one they liked, after finding some on Flickr. There is a little more news about this, but I'll save that for New Years Eve or the next club night..." |
