Thread Name: Welsh language folk music
Subject: RE: Welsh language folk music
A couple of years ago I picked up an LP of a genre I'd never heard of: a Welsh equivalent of the Scottish cornkister or bothy song - songs sung by agricultural workers in temporary seasonal accommodation. The content was much like the Scottsh songs - shitty employers, drink and unplanned pregnancies.

But I can't remember where I've put it, and I haven't got my LP player working again since buying it.

Somebody remind me what this kind of song is called?
