Bethan Rhiannon

Part of www.melodeon.net's Theme of the Month for March 2010 - Tunes from Wales.

A tune from the playing of Huw and Tony Williams, and Crasdant - written by Huw Williams. I have also attempted Huw's guitar break at the start and middle of the tune.

Only the second welsh tune I know (and I've only just learned it!)

Played on a Castagnari Mory melodeon in D/G with unisonoric basses.

Clive you are so professional in all of your videos I can't tell you how you make me feel when I listen with my eyes closed. It is like I am in heaven. Please take that as a complement of great magnitude. I couldn't be more happier until I listen to your playing. This is wonderful.

Do you play professionally or do you cut your own CD's I think you are one of the best melodian players around the world.

Cheers Ron from Canada!

Thank you - glad you liked it! Yep, there's a CD of similar (more practiced!) music with me playing with a fiddle playing friend of mine Mark Prescott - google 'vivant clive williams' (youtube won't let me post web addresses... booo!)! Cheers, Clive

Nice sound. Like the box. The tune though is not traditional but written by Huw Williams.
