Thank you so much! I didn't even know this existed. Hearing three Welsh bands including two I'd never heard of plus a raw young "Radio Cymru"...it's a gas for a Welsh-a-phile like me. (I'm 33 and live in Portland, Oregon, USA. I'm Welsh on my mom's side, they immigrated after WWII, so I grew up on Rarebit and sea-infested fry-ups). My grandparents spoke the language but I could never wrap my tongue around it. I spent six months in Cardiff back in 1999 and think about moving there and the music is part of what draws me in. I guess it's the mix of exotic and familiar that I like about it, but sure there's some nationalism in me (it's usually the folks living "in exile" that get all nationalistic.} Anyway, thanks Bristolboy, you're doin' a saint's job and it's much appreciated.
