ryan davies was the ultimate all round welsh entertainer. Sadly he died in 1977 aged just 40. A naturally funny man with a fantastic voice. His Myfanwy by far the best version

  • I had the great pleasure of seeing Ryan in Babes In The Wood when I was aged 7 (1977) I can still see him now, wearing a girls blonde wig , in plaits that curled up at the side.I now watch his son on Pobol Y Cwm (he plays the part of Mark) and I often wonder if he can sing like his dad.Cried my eyes out watching this video.Nos da Ryan, cariad.

  • Ryan was my Grandfather's cousin.

    Unfortunately none of us have inherited his incredible voice! This is without a doubt the best version of Myfanwy ever. Sends a chill down my back.

    In the modern era, with the increased spotlight on Welsh language TV and the celebrity culture we have, Ryan would have been massive. What a waste that he died so young!

  • cwmamman road ... glanamman's finest ,the boy did us proud with this rendition

  • what a beautiful, beautiful voice. It is such a lovely song.

  • just caught up with this fabulous star and his wonderful rendering of Myfanwy. Fantastic!

  • I had the pleasure to work at Swansea Grand Theatre when Ryan (and Ronnie) appeared there, to see a panto audience sitting in absolute silence while he sat on the edge of the stage singing Myfanwy was an experienc never to be forgotten.

  • Ryan Davies was my teacher St. John's primary school in Croydon. He and the headmaster (also Welsh) wrote musical plays for each year's senior class (10-11 year olds). When it was my turn, the play was called "The Phantom Coach" (My dad recorded the entire show - I still have tthe tape!) We all adored him, and missed him greatly when he left us to work with the BBC. So sad he died so young - he touched many lives with his, warmth, kindness and many talents.

  • He was such an amazing talent, so sad that he died so young. He was a very funny man and this performance of Myfanwy is so beautiful. It makes me very homesick though!

    Thank you for posting the clip.

  • the most amazing song i've ever heard, sung beautifuly by a master - shame he was taken from us so young
