Caerdroin

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:

Merch Megan https://thesession.org/tunes/6395
Caerdroin
Blodau Drain https://thesession.org/tunes/3197

Caerdroea

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.

Does anyone know how old this is, or who wrote it? Welsh or English trad?
