Max Boyce When we walked to Merthyr Tydfil

[DEOO100]

The castle was my old grammer school, love the old pictures, so much of Merthyr, especially Dowlais, where I was born was totally destroyed in the so called redevelopment, the museum at Cyfarthfa Castle is worth a visit as is the cemetary at Aberfan, I remember so vividly the tipslide, so sad.

What a poorer place Wales would be if Max Boyce had never been born. He is for the ages.

[chinco1983]

I'm from Merthyr lovely place cracking song/poem

[digitalsclansman]

Does anyone have the lyrics to this by any chance?

[wankflange]

[gorypleasure]

A real Welsh Bard. Bravo Bravo

Well done Max. This is brilliant for Merthyr Tydfil. What a place is Merthyr, it's the best place on earth and the people from there are just as good. It was once the capital city of the world with our coal mining and steel industry. We shipped the coal to Cardiff, Barry and Swansea and put them on the map. Cardiff was the biggest port in the world exporting 52 million tons of coal per annum. Merthyr is a place where people should be proud of coming from.

[MrPentrebach]

i would just like to say that merthyr tydfil is the greatest little town in the world. i wish people would come to merthyr and see what fantastic country side and history this town has to offer.... it was the iron,steel and coal capital of the world at one time. how it has never achieved world heritage site status is beyond me.

Beautiful song! Interesting video.

[jones6620]

not my home town but typical welcoming welsh song long live welsh

[P2TG]

I remember doing a sponserd walk to Merthyr from the Cynon Valleys a few years back.

This song was in my head the whole way and hearing it allways reminds me of that day.

Brilliant. x

[redhotror]

[Delspage]

Im a Yorkshire Guy, I love Wales, Hoping to go again this year, Max is a very compassionate and patriotic entertainer, I find his songs very moving, this song is one of my favourites, can sense the deep feeling towards Wales.

[thefenaghman]

I've seen this dude 30 years ago live and what a cracking card he is....Legend.

[MrPentrebach]

i hate the fact people think merthyr is a bad place. its the most beautiful place in the world

[UISTMAN59]

pure magic

[UISTMAN59]

I thought I had added a comment a couple of days ago. Max Boyce has a great voice for songs like this. Quite a coincidence to see pictures of Merthry Tydfil in the snow just a couple of days ago. Diolch yn fawr. :-)

[UISTMAN59]

I hadn't heard this one before. Max Boyce has a great expressive voice. Also a great comedian of course :-)

Thanks for posting :-)
