Hwaet!

Covath has some stuff from both the John Old and John Giddy MSS. Amazingly we've just gone for a third repressing.

I am now planning its successor, which will have music of William Allen, Frances Prideaux, Morval House, William Polwhele, and some shared Brythonic material from Wales, Devon and Brittany.

Are you familiar with a tune: 'Blodau'r Gorllewin' (The Flowers of the West)? I'm trying to learn something of its provenance. It was published by Playford in 1651 as 'Glory of the West', alongside other Royalist material celebrating resistance to parliamentary forces in the Westcountry, but seems to have had a separate life as a Welsh harp tune.

diolch,
