Suo Gan - A Welsh Lullaby

For my birthday, my wonderful friend Gill made this video of me singing (with Jim Leonard on the piano). The song was recorded May 2008 during the King Edward Choir's spring concert at Collier Street United Church in Barrie, ON. The video is from Gill's recent visit to Ireland.
Some of you may remember this piece from the movie "Empire of the Sun", although that version was sung by a boy soprano.

For more information about the choir and the 2010-11 concert season, please visit the website at

This is the first piece I wanted to learn to play on the guitar when I was in school in the Rhondda. I still find myself humming it when I am stuck on the bus

[CantoSemper49]

This is spectacular. Really, a voice perfectly fit for the song. A warm, rounded, motherly tone accompanied by linguistic perfection. The Welsh and English were brilliantly phrased. The singer clearly put a lot of time and effort into this piece. Thanks so much for sharing this recording!!!

[Steeleperfect]

Few singers can do this perfect song justice. You can. You're the best I have heard. Thanks for letting people hear it.

[TheDestinyCovers]

This Is My Favourite Song To Sing. You Have A Stunning Voice. It's Great To Hear Someone With That Good A Voice Singing In Welsh Instead Of Whatever Language It Is That They Sing Opera In. No-one Can Sing Quite As Good As Us Weshies :)
