Llanfair Sings!!

I know that this is serious showing off, but we have just finished our first home produced CD "Songs from Ashdale" (That's the name of our house).
I am SO pleased with it, and we are selling them at a fiver each.
I do the vocals, and Jim, Simon and David do all the clever stuff.

I've stopped bragging now.
Merry yuletide, Bron.

Dear Bron, congratulations, that's grand and inspirational news!!!! Tell us more, won't you, like what songs are on it, and how we folks across the pond can figure out how to get a hold of it, etc. And a merry yuletide to you, too. Margaret

Thank you, Margaret. It has a number of traditional songs, like "Creeping Jane" and "Lang a'growing" sung unaccompanied, and others that have great musical arrangements, like "Sylkie" and "Twa Corbies"
I'm going to send a copy to Max, so perhaps he'll play a track or two on the radio.
Cheers, Bron.

I'm interested!
Especially as I've been inside Ashdale!
As I made bad experiences with sending cash by mail to the UK (it somehow vanished on the way) - how do I get the money to you (I also don't think I have 5£ in cash)? Is EC-cheque ok? (I still have the address to send it to)

Ooooh, sounds lovely, Bron! Next time I go into NY city I'll find a Bureau de Change and figure out how to do it... Margaret

Put Powys, and SY21 0QS on the end, and it will get here, Noreen.
Margaret, I'm sending copies to Max and Dick Greenhaus, with the request to copy it and sell for the US equivalent of a fiver to go into Mudcat funds. If they agree to look after the American requests, I'll deal with the European ones, and put the money towards the next CD.
Any antipodean volunteers? I'll send a freebie, and you can sell copies for Mudcat funds.
Cheers, Bron.

Just received my copy of this very nice CD. You can get a copy from Camsco for $8 US, which is approximately the equivalent of five pounds; all proceeds (after deducting the cost of the blank CD and label) go to Mudcat.

Thanx Bron!

Received with thanks this morning, Bron. Well done to you, Jim and David. It's a good selection and I played it twice through straight away! I was thinking of learning the Silkie song, so this will help.

Thanks again!

I am so pleased that you both like the CD. I value the opinions of my friends on the Mudcat very highly, and am therefore delighted by your responses.
I hope Max plays a track or two on the radio tonight!!!
Cheers, Bron.

Dick says some of these are still available and I, for one, forgot to order mine, SO...I am off to do so, right now! Sorry, Bron!

Thanks for the mention in the other thread, Dick.

Bron, we just collected our copy from the post box, this weekend and have really been enjoying it; your very lovely voice, and the excellent arrangements and playing.

As I am not familiar with some of the songs, would you please list them in order on the CD? There are a couple I would like to learn and; that way I could look for the words more easily.

Thanks and thanks to Dick for carrying these! Just wonderful!
