Post your request over on uk.music.folk, or pop in there on DejaNews, do a seach for a posting by Mick Tems, and email your request to him ..

There is quite a revival of Welsh folk music at the moment. I'd particularly recommend listening to Fernhill for outstanding modern performances of traditional material. Their lead singer, Julie Matthews (Welsh and VERY proud of it) was the cover artist on a recent Folk Roots (essential reading IMO). Their recordings are on Beautiful Jo (along with the Martin Simpson Live I recommended elsewhere); visit: http://www.bejo.co.uk
