A few years ago I gave a talk about unaccompanied singing. I referred to a male trio I had heard in the 1940s, but couldn't identify. A Welsh speaker in the audience handed me a note at the end, which said that the group I described was Triawd y Coleg. I googled them and got a few hits, including a photo. Thinking that maybe Google wasn't very strong in Welsh, I tried the English translation she helpfully provided. I can tell you now that 'The College Threesome' doesn't come up with any music-related hits! One member of the trio was Meredydd Evans who became one of the leading authorities on Welsh folk music.
