As an Englishman I have nothing except respect for the Welsh, their patriotism is an example to behold in my opinion, akin to the Scots who again I hold in high regard. I've been to Wales, all over the south, the north and I loved the place and the people... They love their rugby and their country in tandem, what more could you honestly ask from men...??
@mutley0777 the english are genetically very similar to the welsh and cornish....so are you lot inbred as well?........I have a degree in genetics...what is your source?
The Welsh are Khumric or Cymric, though there are are some Celts in Britain, I read from a book by researchers Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett. This Celtic version of the Welsh National Anthem is hauntingly good.
This is Beautiful. I am beginning a book and want to set it in Wales. Not sure why, it just drew me. I've never been there though, and since I'm blind the vids with scenery don't help. Any suggestions of vids or sites which describe your country? The music, food and lore I've found, so far is wonderful! Thanks...BTW is Welsh also Celtic? I've researched some Welsh, but I don't think I'm even close with pronunciation...Thanks for all your vids
Celtic interpretation? If you mean that the rhythm is slightly changed, then say so. But it's hard to see how the Welsh National Anthem, sung in the Welsh in which it was written, and instantly recognisable as such, can be described as any sort of 'interpretation', let alone 'Celtic'. It's like saying that God Save The Queen, sung in English, is a Saxon interpretation of the song.
@Johnfwake hehe the word celtic is from the greek keltoi, the so called celts never knew about the word :) until celtic revival of 1700-1800s.....welsh are brythonic albeit latinised language

@mutley0777 Mystery to me dear. Can you explain to me why so many English folks seem to have such a well balanced view of things? I mean, they seem to have a large petty racist chip on both shoulders. Don't forget to open that parachute now.
@mutley0777 Assuming you're English, You can't say anything about inbreeding. Your own royal family have interbred since before England even existed. You are here because you are allowed to be. God help you if the Celtic nations unite and decide we have had enough of this blatant racism and being treated as second class on our own islands.
One of the most beautiful anthem I,ve ever heard. Very serene and I guess must be refering to the resolute determination of the welsh people. I wish I understood gaelic.
Thanks being a french canadian I am interested in surviving cultures. The Welsh are interesting for me. They are an example of a culture that has survived both the roman the anglo-saxon and norman persecution.
Yes, It is beautiful~ and what a nice comment :D But the language of Wales (Cymru) isn't Gaelic (Gaelic has 2 versions, Scottish and Irish), it is called Cymraeg which is a Celtic language. Cymraeg is the oldest language in all of Europe. I am trying to teach myself the language, its my ancestory, Wales is my passion~
@MaxfieldMini i thought the language of the basque was the oldest of Europe anyway it certainly must be among the first ones . There was a very interesting series by the BBC called the celts. In this serie they present the celtic civilisation as the first concept of a unified europe. Mainly because the celtic language in spite of regional differences could be understood from hungary through Ireland.
Yes, It is beautiful~ and what a nice comment :D But the language of Wales (Cymru) isn't Gaelic (Gaelic has 2 versions, Scottish and Irish), it is called Cymraeg which is a Celtic language.

Glad you've posted this, but isn't a 'celtic interpretation of the Welsh national anthem' a little redundant? The Welsh are celtic, if its Welsh it is celtic
Welsh is an original language and is one, if not the, oldest in Europe and therefore would have been given at Babel to add confusion. It's still fulfilling it's purpose!
Before the Romans bullied their way across the land the Celts (Irish and Welsh) occupied most of Europe between the Rhone and the Mediterranean. the Atlantic Ocean and Turkey and there is a bit of the Celt in all of us.
This was recommended to me by a friend, & I'm thrilled to be privvy to such a gorgeous reading. I'll investigate more, definitely. Thanks for the posting.
i mean no offence by this at all but land of my fathers shouldn't be sung by anything or anyone other than a male choir. i'm not sexist...it's just the way i see it.
i disagree totally. i think the national anthem should be sung by all welsh people, men, women, young and old. i enjoy many versions of it. a song for all our nation to sing with pride.. . . but we all got our own opinions.
i see your point bud and i agree with ya. it's just down to my own personal taste, the sound of the old choir back home in glyncorwyg singing it when i was a kid still sticks with me today.
im english i love land of my fathers and i want 2 here katherine jenkins and a choir 2 sing it coz it such a great song and im disappointed with god save the queen it just no where near as good
I'm watching from Adelaide, South Australia, where i was born. I'm the daughter of an ex-pat Welshman. I sang this (dissappointingly in English) with our combined primary-schools choir over 35 years ago. This is truly beautiful & I thank you for the posting. I shall investigate more about Lorraine King. Now I need to reconnect by embracing the Welsh language. Cheers!
Thanks for comment. Lorraine has just returned from Vancouver, Canada where she undertook a concert. Type in 'I Cant forget my Wales', or 'Alan Cunningham, Erwood' for more Lorraine Welsh songs. JW.

@TheEJDavies ....I don't........The only other national anthem i sing is the Danish and thats out of respect to the people of the land I live in.....plus the Danish Vikings helped us kick the shit out of the Mercian Saxons
Trackingtracker spoken like a true englishman...Obviously proud of your german queen and scottish prime minister....and that dirge of an anthem you ve got
The River Edw is a magical river flowing through the most rural and peaceful landscape. There is another super river running through Camlan Field in Mid Wales. Type in 'Camlan King Arthur'on You Tube and have a look.
There's also the River Rhondda, once commonly known as the " Dirty Dick " because of pollution from the mines. Its become much cleaner these days.......they tell me even the fish have stopped coughing !
i'm wondering whether lorraine king is someone famous in wales. i'd never heard of her till i found this video. i enjoyed her singing, and i'm wondering whether she sings anything else.
Hi. No, not famous. Rather an unsung heroine of mine. Released a few CDs with bands. This is one of her few single CDs. She is the lead singer in Tribute bands also, Abba, Californians etc. Plays all over the U.K. in this guise. A brilliant performer and songwriter. Regards to you, John
my interest in wales was sparked a few years ago. one of my cousins married a welshman that came here for college. when her husband moved back to wales, she went with him, and she now has children. i think she became a welsh citizen. she probably renounced the u.s. actually, i've never met her. i wonder what she'll do if the u.s. gets into a war with wales. i have a feeling that most welsh are not all that frightened by u.s. power. at the moment, i think the u.s. has good relations with wales.
If you want to see good relations between Wales & the USA try seeing the reaction that Donny Osmond ( Welsh ancestors from Merthyr ) got when he sang in Welsh in Cardiff. :- Donny Osmond sings welsh verse of myfanwy in Cardiff on youTube ( no chance of war between US and Wales.......we ain't got any oil LOL ! )
thanks. i just took a look at it. i'm pretty familiar with the osmonds, yet i didn't know about his welsh connection till you mentioned it. the osmonds are pretty famous singers here, yet i didn't know much about them, aside from their religious activities. you don't have oil, yet you do have coal. lol; actually this isn't really a matter to be joking around about. well, maybe it is.
You can't have our coal !........the English will be back again to steal that once they've finished robbing the Scots of their north sea oil ! LOL.
Have a look how many of your presidents had Welsh ancestors .. eg.,at least eight U.S. Presidents of Welsh extraction including Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and James Garfield. Confederate President Jefferson Davis was also of Welsh extraction check On Wikipedia under
yea, i think there's a decent amount of welsh ancestry over here, yet the welsh language has been virtually non-existent here. also i doubt that any u.s. president spoke welsh as his best language. i think all u.s. presidents spoke english as their best language, except for martin van buren, who spoke netherlandish dutch. i assume my family was of english ancestry, because my grandparents didn't know any language other than english. supposedly my family were english-speakers who lived in ulster.
although i don't know of any welsh ancestry in my family, i enjoy this music a lot. the other day, i played it on my keyboard in front of some friends without telling them what it was. they liked it. then i told them that it was the welsh national anthem. then some of them said stuff like, "who are the welsh?" they were familiar with england, but not with wales. i also like llanfair and cwm rhondda and ar hyd y nos which i have used as church music.
it does have a catchy tune. i'd never heard it till about 3 weeks ago, and i've tried it on keyboard.
i'm wondering why sizeable numbers of welsh people have english surnames. for example, that singer has the name 'king". obviously it's not celtic. maybe her ancestor was an englishman that moved to wales and started thinking of himself as welsh.
i like that hissing "ll" sound that the welsh use.
Thanks for your comment. Its also interesting how many English have Welsh Surnames, Davies, Jones, Griffiths, Powell, Lloyd etc., It could be that their ancestors were Welsh and moved to England and started thinking of themselves as English. The hissing LL is made by putting your tongue at the top of your mouth and saying Llanfaircaerionion for instance or Llanfairpwllgwynwyth...... By the way I love Coventry Cathedral and the original one next to it. Always pop in to see them when in Coventry.
i need to clear something up. i'm using "coventrygardens" and i'm using the name "jone coventry" as pseudonyms, not my real name. i picked the name "coventrygardens" and "jone coventry" because i used to live in a place called "coventry gardens" which is located near detroit, michigan, u.s.a. in "coventry gardens", michigan, the streets are named after places in england. i lived on surrey street, next to the funeral parlor. my forefathers left england and scotland in 1600s and 1700s.
the english side of the family came here in 1600s. i don't know what religion they had back then. around the year 1800, they became wesleyites. the scottish side came over in 1700s. they were presbyterians. around the year 1900, they became baptists. i was a non-denominationalist so-called evangelical Christian till about 5 years ago, when i switched over to the Catholic Church.
My wife and I just listened to this and thought it was excellent, you have a great voice and you do the Welsh proud. Thank you.

I'm watching from Adelaide, South Australia, where i was born. I'm the daughter of an ex-pat Welshman. I sang this (dissappointingly in English) with our combined primary-schools choir over 35 years ago. This is truly beautiful & I thank you for the posting. I shall investigate more about Lorraine King. Now I need to reconnect by embracing the Welsh language. Cheers!

Thanks for comment. Lorraine has just returned from Vancouver, Canada where she undertook a concert. Type in 'I Cant forget my Wales', or 'Alan Cunningham, Erwood' for more Lorraine Welsh songs. JW.

A long-standing rule banning athletes waving unofficial flags at the Olympic Games has been criticised by politicians in Wales.
According to an International Olympic Committee (IOC) rule, competitors should not have flags which could be perceived as a "political gesture".
This means the flags of Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland are effectively banned.
Team GB will be represented by the union flag

The River Edw is a magical river flowing through the most rural and peaceful landscape. There is another super river running through Camlan Field in Mid Wales. Type in 'Camlan King Arthur'on You Tube and have a look.

There's also the River Rhondda, once commonly known as the " Dirty Dick " because of pollution from the mines. Its become much cleaner these days.......they tell me even the fish have stopped coughing !

i'm wondering whether lorraine king is someone famous in wales. i'd never heard of her till i found this video. i enjoyed her singing, and i'm wondering whether she sings anything else.
coventrygardens 3 years ago
Hi. No, not famous. Rather an unsung heroine of mine. Released a few CDs with bands. This is one of her few single CDs. She is the lead singer in Tribute bands also, Abba, Californians etc. Plays all over the U.K. in this guise. A brilliant performer and songwriter. Regards to you, John

my interest in wales was sparked a few years ago. one of my cousins married a welshman that came here for college. when her husband moved back to wales, she went with him, and she now has children. i think she became a welsh citizen. she probably renounced the u.s. actually, i've never met her. i wonder what she'll do if the u.s. gets into a war with wales. i have a feeling that most welsh are not all that frightened by u.s. power. at the moment, i think the u.s. has good relations with wales.
coventrygardens 3 years ago 2
Good relations with the Uk *shivers* you mean. Half of them don't know Wales is a country of it's own, or even what Wales is. *sigh*
oOCaillechOo 3 years ago
If you want to see good relations between Wales & the USA try seeing the reaction that Donny Osmond ( Welsh ancestors from Merthyr ) got when he sang in Welsh in Cardiff. :- Donny Osmond sings welsh verse of myfanwy in Cardiff on youTube ( no chance of war between US and Wales.......we ain't got any oil LOL ! )
mush1955 3 years ago
thanks. i just took a look at it. i'm pretty familiar with the osmonds, yet i didn't know about his welsh connection till you mentioned it. the osmonds are pretty famous singers here, yet i didn't know much about them, aside from their religious activities. you don't have oil, yet you do have coal. lol; actually this isn't really a matter to be joking around about. well, maybe it is.
coventrygardens 3 years ago 2
You can't have our coal !........the English will be back again to steal that once they've finished robbing the Scots of their north sea oil ! LOL.
Have a look how many of your presidents had Welsh ancestors .. eg.,at least eight U.S. Presidents of Welsh extraction including Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and James Garfield. Confederate President Jefferson Davis was also of Welsh extraction check On Wikipedia under
" List of Americans with Welsh ancestry "
mush1955 3 years ago
yea, i think there's a decent amount of welsh ancestry over here, yet the welsh language has been virtually non-existent here. also i doubt that any u.s. president spoke welsh as his best language. i think all u.s. presidents spoke english as their best language, except for martin van buren, who spoke netherlandish dutch. i assume my family was of english ancestry, because my grandparents didn't know any language other than english. supposedly my family were english-speakers who lived in ulster.
coventrygardens 3 years ago
although i don't know of any welsh ancestry in my family, i enjoy this music a lot. the other day, i played it on my keyboard in front of some friends without telling them what it was. they liked it. then i told them that it was the welsh national anthem. then some of them said stuff like, "who are the welsh?" they were familiar with england, but not with wales. i also like llanfair and cwm rhondda and ar hyd y nos which i have used as church music.

it does have a catchy tune. i'd never heard it till about 3 weeks ago, and i've tried it on keyboard.
i'm wondering why sizeable numbers of welsh people have english surnames. for example, that singer has the name 'king". obviously it's not celtic. maybe her ancestor was an englishman that moved to wales and started thinking of himself as welsh.
i like that hissing "ll" sound that the welsh use.
coventrygardens 3 years ago 2
Thanks for your comment. Its also interesting how many English have Welsh Surnames, Davies, Jones, Griffiths, Powell, Lloyd etc., It could be that their ancestors were Welsh and moved to England and started thinking of themselves as English. The hissing LL is made by putting your tongue at the top of your mouth and saying Llanfaircaerionion for instance or Llanfairpwllgwynwyth...... By the way I love Coventry Cathedral and the original one next to it. Always pop in to see them when in Coventry.

i need to clear something up. i'm using "coventrygardens" and i'm using the name "jone coventry" as pseudonyms, not my real name. i picked the name "coventrygardens" and "jone coventry" because i used to live in a place called "coventry gardens" which is located near detroit, michigan, u.s.a. in "coventry gardens", michigan, the streets are named after places in england. i lived on surrey street, next to the funeral parlor. my forefathers left england and scotland in 1600s and 1700s.

the english side of the family came here in 1600s. i don't know what religion they had back then. around the year 1800, they became wesleyites. the scottish side came over in 1700s. they were presbyterians. around the year 1900, they became baptists. i was a non-denominationalist so-called evangelical Christian till about 5 years ago, when i switched over to the Catholic Church.
