Llwybr cyhoeddus is pronounced LlOOEE bir cuh HOI this, remembering what we said about "Ll" above. All Welsh words have the accent on the penultimate syllable. Huw, 'wistle' could be something to do with 'gwestu' meaning 'to lodge' or 'gwystl', 'to pledge'. Jeff, I believe Blodau'r Grug is out of print, although I think you can still find it in music shops where the stock doesn't move quickly. There's a follow on volume, Cadw Twmpath, which is still available but the standard sessions tunes are mostly in Blodau'r Grug. There are a few others around too. Sian James has just brought out a new 'folk' album but I haven't heard it yet. Of course, she is one of many and there are CDs available for every taste, cerdd dant to cajun, vocal, instrumental, archival to experimental. There are links to a lot of today's groups at www.trac-cymru.org. sian
