[@valiantv2897]

How has this only got 7000 views, dont Welsh people have youtube ? This gives me goosebumps, and im an Englishman living in Australia

[@arthurballs9632]

Always loved this song. Went to Barry Island Butlin's in the mid-80s, makes me somewhat Welsh.

[@valiantv2897]

llandudno 7 years in a row in the 1970s qualifies me as Welsh, what a performer she is

[@lo7182]

I once saw Chadwell on TV

[@lornaburgess9762]

My Great Grandmam was born in Bedwellty Workhouse Georgetown Tredegar in 1876 ,so I suppose our family is part Welsh . 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Lorna in Northumberland.

[@HappyBear376]

What a Woman ❤❤❤

[@woganjones2012]

Always amazed me how Cerys la-la-lahed the theme from Crossroads in this song right at the end... a real gem of a harmony 3:27

[@hilmir]

[@paulelliott3220]

Magnificent Great band and Cerys has a great voice; love her Welsh lilt I’m from just over the border but love this - an anthem I’ll belt out when I hear it (chorus anyway) Lovely to hear the welsh language in the song too

[@Jayfive276]

A rugby shirt and wedge heels, Cerys is a proper Welsh lass.

[@nicholasjones7312]

Da iawn Catalonia, a Cerys efo’r crys Goch!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@melaniehenderson-eq8yt]

Your new book's cool Cerys, lovely talented lady carry on & keep it up!

[@wmsheep]

Aah Cerys- a lady with a voice once likened to a dustbin full of seagulls being kicked down some stairs! Brilliant!!!

[@NoahNobody]

It sucks that Liverpool is not part of Wales, but my DNA result says I'm 59% from Gwynedd. So there's that.

[@sandraswift3489]

[@katyharries2526]

[@patrickrodies6111]

Port Talbot concert Catatonia, me (French) singing drunk like a welsh sheep "every day when i wake up i thank thee lord i'm welsh" The locals still remember this one

[@theegyptianfringe8074]

Much better top than the Man U shirt Cerys x

[@kennatiousc]

cerys voice is the only thing live about it.

[@bluelightalarm]

I'd say her body looks pretty live too!

[@arthurballs9632]

There's a backing track for the vocals but they're all playing live.

[@victoroladuja2416]

Cerys Hughes voice reminds me of 70’s singer Melanie.

[@evilme1752]

i do not know what it is, but, there is something about a female in a rugby shirt that really does it for me haha

[@bannaubrycheiniog1329]

Welsh not british

[@MiniLemmy]

Cerys Mathews looks like she’s wearing a life size Cerys Mathews mask….her face looks too big for her head

[@CS-mo7xp]

[@keeppushing691]
