Some lucky bustard got a whole collection of irish and celtic LPs from a charity shop.

A few years a go, we got an ambitious choir leader … wanted to enter us for the Eisteddfford (bother I can’t even spell it - let alone sing at it) and we learnt this in welsh and 6 part harmony. So if the tune sounds to plain to you, let your imagination fill in a proper full welsh choir sobbing it’s way through it (it’s a sad song!)
spindizzy, i don’t think it’s a sad song, in fact it’s not a song - it’s penillion, or verses, so you can sing any verses you like, including comic ones as ben does - to make the story you want. but the common verses sung aren’t sad either… though many a performance certainly borders on the maudlin!

Thanks for the clip and info c, - I never knew that!
Good to hear it sung again (we were definitely maudlin 🙂 )
