Max Boyce did a version of ""Bugeillo'r Gwenith Gwyn" bilingually on his pure folk album - which for the life om me I can not remember the title. If I can find it I will post.

Not disputing you, Snuffy, but my little Welsh mate here in the office doesn't think this is strictly Welsh; more an anglicised version of someone's name?

Snuffy: thanks, I'll start a new thread and see if anyone knows the words. I can sing it in Welsh.

"Bugeillo'r Gwenith Gwyn" is Welsh - the English version is often known as "Watching the Wheat"

They are or were part of the resident group at the Rhyl folk club, last I heard of at Costigans by the railway station on Friday nights (I don't live in Wales any more).

Alun is one of those people who seems to be able to play just about anything to a good standard.

also, I have a CD of Rum Bum and Concertina, a trio from North Wales. I'm not one o throw out gushing superlatives, but this one's sensational They are a trio, Alun Rhys Jones, Jeff Blythin and Ted Robshaw. They've got the Clancy's beat all to hell, and the Chieftans don't sing. Irishmen have to be taught to sing harmony anyway. Welshmen and Italians don't.   
I'm going to try to get permission to reproduce this CD. I'll charge $12.50 $10.oo goes to them.

There's one track, "Bugeillo'r Gwenith Gwyn.I'm not sure if it's in Welsh or very heavilly accented Dialectic English, or a mixture of both. Furthermore, I haven't a clue as to what it means but I want to learn it.
