Thank you for uploading this. I am from Pontardawe, now living in London for over 15 years. I am so proud to have spent my childhood in a part of the world that was beatiful and safe. The welsh language was a big part of my life and remains so. I am very moved when I hear these traditional songs sung so beautifully.
This is an absolutely lovely rendition. Shadows most of the others I've heard so much, I can't even stand to hear them. I just keep playing this one over and over.
mary makes these old welsh folk songs sound so simple and pure, when in fact they can be quite difficult to sing. I very much appreciate her songs, and I am glad richpat posts them. Something about nature's beauty in these old songs, that she understands so well.
Composed by Will Hopcyn - any relation?

And while my hair grows
And while a heart beats in my chest
I will be faithful to you..."

If Visconti's second wife sings this well, he can pick me some lottery numbers for next week.

Yes that is absolutely right...
If we keep the pressure up maybe, just maybe, she will record a whole new CD of beautiful Welsh songs...
Bye for now
