G'day again Notferjo,

A Google search on Cornish / Gendall / songwriter gets a half dozen sites containing references such as this at:

Fry an Spyris - The Alternative (a site for the promotion of the Cornish language)-

"Richard Gendall had been a longstanding figure in the movement: as a teacher of the language and author of an innovative and effective textbook, songwriter and scholar."

Presumably this song is one of his English language efforts, celebrating the far-flung efforts of exiled Cornishmen.

Regards,

Bob
