got to admire the british

[Kokavski]

Nothing much to say. This is a real Master and highest class artist

[Sportymike]

Irish folk songs are by far the best.

[thereds1959]

Bryn's a Welsh master class.

@douglas18741892 You know don't you that "Windsor" is a fiction. The real family name is "Guelph," wolf puppies.

Sometimes the oboe just hits the spot

[weatherservo9]

This arrangement is quite good (obviously the performance is, as well). It really reveals the depth and character of these deceptively simple folk songs.

@douglas18741892 The language he's singing in is English, isn't it? A welsh singer singing a scottish folk song in english! Why not? That's perfect!!

@mausimama1

Pardon....English?

[mausimama1]

Wonderful entertainer! And a great performer when he is singing those beautiful english folk songs.

well you know, music is made to commemorate events and people, and this is what history is about.
