As an Englishman I strongly respect wales and it's culture and language

[@CancerousYoutubeContent]

That's nice, as a welshman I dont respect your culture or your royal family

[@CancerousYoutubeContent]

@Elias Farendune Clobberer ah I have to disagree because its England, your country that actually make a fuss about them, Wales doesnt.

[@CancerousYoutubeContent]

@Elias Farendune Clobberer what does that have to do with the royal family?

[@theblackknight5389]

@owen sandford completely understandable as we sort of stamped on the Welsh culture however if I'm correct in Welsh the word for England means " lost lands " or something along those lines sorry if I offend anyone at all

[@CancerousYoutubeContent]

@@theblackknight5389 I'm not offended so dont worry about that one and that would make sense, england used to be old wales but obviously now it's just a small part

A masterful work played with vigour and clarity by a master. Plus, the images are an inspiring Arthurian-like addition.

ABSOLUTELY beautiful. First few chords and I'm in love.

[@ChilledFox]

Sounds almost like a sitar

[@almishti]

They were called 'braying' harps, there was an L-shaped wooden bar at the bottom of each string fixed so that when the player struck the string, its vibrations would cause the string to rub ever so slightly against the bar, making it buzz. On the sitar the bridge is slightly rounded where each string touches it, so the string buzzes slightly against the curve. :) Thought you might like to know :)

I have no Anglo-Celtic ancestry but i've been living in Wales for 6 years now and I love it here. I'm currently learning, slowly and with much screeching, to play the crwth. :)

I have to agree with this statement 110% I’ve got pure welsh ancestry and I couldn’t settle for nothing else

Free the Breton people ! Until the XII-XII century ; the welsh were called "Briton" , as we still are in Brittany.

[@mizofan]

Right, it's a great shame that many English think they are the British, the Welsh treated as 2nd class foreigners. The link between Wales and Brittany is a precious one

[@pandemonium316]

yes !! The english come from the East long time ago...

[@lethallizard963]

SirSirupy Dewi is the Welsh form of David.

[@zionthedragon8866]

@@lethallizard963 actually, originally Dewi wasn't a English translation of David, that was made by Christians when getting rid of druidism, gave the names of gods as simply alternate names of saints. Dewi was a Welsh dragon God, but due to English being envious little goblins, made everyone see him as a serpent try to write him out of existence, or say he wasn't a God. They know the celts were awesome to have actual dragon God over them.
