This is one of three Welsh airs which I learned from the late fiddle maker Dick Rutter in Edinburgh. We played it in a folk group in the early 1990s in the following set:
Good to see some one else loves Welsh tunes. A friend who used to run a Welsh band in Oxford, called ‘Pencerdd’ , once photocopied two books of Welsh tunes on his office copier for me.
I mix some of them into my busking/session repertoire. They make a nice change from the usual hegemonic Irish session diet.

Re: Caerdroin
