Re: Clwt Y Ddawns: A Collection of Tunes for Welsh Folk Dances
Just found this album, and really like it. It’s interesting that in most of the tunes, the first one in the set is often re-played. I think I like “Band Y Betws” better of the two because it has more of a variety of instruments. Some of the tracks seem to only have 2 tunes when they are listed as having 3 so I’m guessing that often one is either the set name or an alternate name for one of them.

For anyone on here who has enjoyed this album, I found some “Welsh folk dance in Russia” videos, some of which were very clearly based off some of the recordings. Here’s one:
