Thread Name: Sean South of Garryowen/Farewell to the Rhondda
Subject: RE: Sean South of Garryowen/Farewell to the Rhnda
Wolfgang (or anyone else), can you line out the tune for "Farewell to the Rhondda" in sol-fa or ABC or some other notation? My husband and I perform a lot of industrial/work songs, both traditional and recent, and I'd like to learn "Rhondda". I vaguely remember hearing the song ages ago in my Guiness-soaked Irish-American bar days, but can't really remember the tune. Also, does anyone know who the author is/was? It sounds like a fairly recent song from the first wave of British/Welsh pit closings.
