dear mike,
there is a mary hopkin cd in welsh. it's called ''y caneuon cynnar'. it
contains one of the most beautiful tunes i have ever heard: y blodyn gwyn.
the other tracks are pretty commonplace renditions of old hits such as
guantanamera... in welsh!
when i joined this list ages ago, i asked if anybody knew any recordings of
welsh songs. i love ''the ash grove'' in all its incarnations and i wanted
to hear it in welsh. i also love the word ''hiraeth'' and there's a song
with that name. i wonder how it's pronounced. [incidentally, nobody ever
responded my post!!! shame on all of you.] i never imagined that one day i
would be telling the welsh about mary hopkin!
