Thread Name: Lyr: Farewell to Rhondha / Farewell to the Rhondda
Subject: RE: Farewell to Rhondha / Farewell to the Rhondda
I was happy to find Farewell to the Rhondda in the DT. I'd never heard it until a few weeks ago. A newly formed group in Phoenix sang it and it's on their new CD "Maiden Voyage." The group is Steve Colby (formerly with Seanachie) and John Good (formerly with Afan) and they're called Oceans Apart. (And they are absolutely marvelous!) John is a native of Wales and both are excellent musicians, play multiple instruments and have great voices and their harmonies are superb. Unfortunately, the CD didn't include the words to any of the songs on it. This was one of my favorites, so I'm glad to find the words here in the DT. The credit for the song on the CD is "F. Hennessy/Noel McLoughlin".
