"Ydych chi'n hoffi coleg hyd yn hyn" (N not M) would be, "Do you like college so far".

ererzer?

Re: the site, yes - a good collection of songs, many still in the 'active' repetoire. That is - sung in different situations: sometimes choirs, or soloists in concerts, or community singing. I suppose there are a few "sing-arounds" but I don't know of many who do Welsh language songs. It's not a concept that's caught on here. As jon said, there are a lot more instrumental sessions doing tunes, and one of the ones in Bangor does include songs. I know one guys who sings there and he would sing some of those on this site.

Can't really answer that as the only sessions of Welsh music I ever played in were instrumental - used to be a good one in Bangor that unforutnately I only made once.

The site I'd be inclined to ask your question at is http://www.welshtraditionalmusic.com/. I believe it is quite new but I think it looks promising in the area of Welsh traditional music.

See http://caneuongwerin.co.uk/a.html

This is a excellent reworking of the old Caneuon Gwerin web site - it seems to have a number of songs added - including some of the more modern Welsh folk songs. I hope Welsh folk singers will send in songs to add.
Some English translations would help too.
I've been singing some of these songs at Chicago song circles - not always with the supportive reaction that one would like to expect from the open-minded folk community - "Wales??" they say.......
Are there song circles in Wales that sing these or other folk songs?
