I am from the Philippines and i didn't understand every single word of the song but the way they performed it and their passion is overwhelming! I am a huge fan of this group!

[@nicnam117]

You ever find out the meaning to the lyrics? ah if not it's about a Welshman's life progressively getting worse, the song's name is "The little Saucepan" which they say boils on the floor due to them being unable to have a second fire to boil it on

[@Woo5ter]

My Dad served in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers during WW2 with several lads from the valleys and learned this. He would often sing it around the house.

[@jim1506]

Being somewhat older (about 50 years) I well remember the boring versions we did in school. Music should always be fun and full of life. This is. I used to hate Sospan Fach. Now I love it.

[@jaydenhunter648]

@@arkfan5345 my comp do this version as the start of our eistethod (excuse the spelling) and everyone shout it, but at my primary they sing the boring version and everyone would lip sync it

[@jos3ph..w]

for our sosbon Fach we have a person doing it on the violin and the three people then everyone sings it (at least thats what's we did in istedfod

I have been living in London for 21 years and love returning home to Ystalyfera where there is a strong and proud tradition for the Welsh language. I enjoy signing these songs and of course Welsh hymns at the end of the night ! Well done boys ! Arbennig o dda. Only boys aloud are fantastic. Diolch i chi .

I was not allowed to learn Welsh when I grew up in the Rhondda Valley in the 1950s. Went to an English language school (as all state schools were then) and missed out on a great deal. Still trying to teach myself yr hên iaith, so it's great to see these youngsters enjoying their own language. They will undoubtedly be bilingual, which means they will have the best start in life: a third language is no problem and a fourth is even easier. Da iawn, iawn.

Saucepans 🤠😩

[@AWWx2]

There was a member of OBA who was a black young man, and, if you look through all the videos on KZbin, you will find him. True, there are few people in Wales who are black, but there a few, and all the OBA choirs welcome every young man of proper age living in any of the villages where OBA practices. Neither background in the Welsh language, nor knowledge of music and singing is required.

[@nixeblue9614]

It's not aloud its allowed

[@over5808]

[@-btsbroscigaming-1262]

In my primary at the end the teacher would say OGI OGI OGI then we would say OI OI OI

[@menelise]

Llanelli used to have a thriving industry of making saucepans and other kitchen utensils (partly-finished steel utensils, coming from the steel industries elsewhere in South Wales came to Llanelli for finishing).

[@SuperSpringwaters]

A cook cooked in the war but Llanelli didn't want him to go. He spent a lot of the time at the pub helping the chefs. He returned to his village with a saucepan on his back.

Every now and then, there are... but it is a fact that the population of the south Wales valleys is predominently white with a generous sprinkling of distant Italian amongst grandparents and great-grandparents. We have Asian families amongst us, but there isn't a lot of employment to be had here, so anyone who would move to an area for work tends to go to the larger towns and cities.
