Thread Name: Origin:Bells of Rhymney (Idris Davies/Pete Seeger)
Subject: RE: Bells of Rhymney
Hi everybody Interesting to hear about what you've all got to say about Rymni (the proper Welsh speaking way of writing it). I stumbled on this conversation on the web one drunken night when my husband and I were having an argument about the rock group 'The Alarm' They sing on a b-side cd 'The bells of Rhymney' (eventhough it sounds like Rimni) and didn't know who wrote it. So, I decided to come on the web to find out and I was right - it was Idris Davies.

Kevin Morgan - is it that bad there ? coz the song is about the crime that was in South Wales during the industrial revolution - maybe it's still there !!
