I have to put a Welshman's ha'p'orth in, I'm afraid.

Shambles, I think you're talking from the happy perspective of one who is secure in their culture as 'British'. There's been a spate of programmes on the TV recently about 'what it means to be English' in the light of the new National Assemblies for the Welsh and Scots.

Remember that the only things that define Welshness are language and culture. These are extremely important to any Welshman, and are things to be fiercely protected. I only mean to say that it's very important to me (I may need therapy to deal with this) that Welsh material is known to be Welsh, and that this information is not lost: for if it should disappear, then the Welsh nation would cease to exist.

We can, of course, all coexist very happily without torching anybody's holiday home. Hopefully acknowledging the culture from which a song or tune comes goes a little way towards honouring the culture of others.
