Thread Name: El Greko on Radio Wales
Subject: RE: El Greko on Radio Wales
I'm in old Chicago, but I have been listening to Frank for almost a year now, and it's great to see that he has moved to 3 hours - does that show that folk music is on the rise in Wales?   Enjoyed your song too, George,

If you go to Frank's page on Radio Wales, they have posted lots of playlists, which is really a big help. But it would be nice if they also posted label or contact information.

A month or so ago, Frank play a cd from a group at Atlantic College and gave an e-mail address - I wrote them and found the tunes were recorded in a dorm room! Great sound though, and they are working on a full cd. One of the singers helped me translate a Plethyn song, which was a translation of one of Frank's song - very circuitous.

I hope that, with more time, Frank will be able to play more in Welsh. If anyone wants to post or share Welsh lyrics, here or whatever, please let me know and I can reciprocate. I get some negative reaction when I do Welsh songs at jams here, but it's one of my few chance to speak the language here.

Diolch yn fawr, Chris in Wheaton
