Links as promised. I do not yet have any pictures of this years event, but there are some from previous years at the web site.


The Paliodonna web site is Here " but be warned, the English version is not yet up to date, and the language used is somewhat un-English in places! (The site seems very slow to load today.)


You can find one of the pictures painted for a previous Paliodonna at the artist's site Stefan Cannelli
These paintings are always done on cloth. If you look closely, you will see that this contains the coats of arms of the various cities taking part.

When we performed as a duo, we were representing Neath, in Wales, and therefore played a number of Welsh folk tunes, such as Ty Coch Caerdydd, Mwpmwy Porteynon, Pwt-ar-y-Bus, Galch Gwyn Morgannwg. As she does not know any Welsh songs, Dawne (my wife) sang some English ones, Lowlands of Holland, Sorry the Day I was Married, Gentleman Soldier, Nutting Girl.
