Subject: RE: Folklore: The music of Wales
One of my most transcendant musical experiences was a spontaneous duet with Siwsann George amonst the gravestones of the cemetary of the church at Aust during the Early Music festival there in 1999 where I was storytelling & playing with Misericordia. The song, as I recall, was a Catholic hymn from an underground tradition and found immediate resonance with my crwth & the other punters who gathered to share in what was a rare moment. We talked of working & recording together, but sadly it never happened. A great lady; whenever I'm playing my crwth I feel Siwsann's not too far away...
