Good tenor voice - all notes there and in tune. Sympathetic accompaniment - so good to hear a real piano. The sound quality and stills were excellent . Cymru needs more friends like you, Richard.

thank you...I like the Welsh too, but the song is great in either language. So many rare and beautiful Welsh songs out there, wish I could find the music to some of them. Also wish I could get back to Wales

Yes, you are right, there is not a single picture of the town in the video, though this english translation doesnt really talk about the town of aberdyfi. Clychau Aberdyfi does more though, and talks about the legendary village sunk in the sea off the coast. Ill have to take some pictures of the town someday and make new recordings.

Its a reverie of long past, of a beautiful time and place and girl. Daydreaming and slow, the vibrato is a bit lazy, and produces the mood perhaps of an old man singing about the distant past. It is also soft and sweet, not requiring much breath. The miracle is that such a combination of tone and message can keep interest, and that is purely to the credit of the lyrics and superior composition of the piece.

@rhodavies I understand your frustration as their is a lot of misunderstanding of welsh songs and history....but don;t be too harsh on this man...hes at least trying to love and respect welsh songs....while 99% of the rest of britain ignore it...so give him some dues even if you really dislike the version Check out my channel as I will be uploading a welsh language version of this by bryn terfel...please subscribe

@sksman71 Hey, what are you doing listening to songs like this? Its not a tune for you, and I could have done better in any case.. Maybe Men of Harlech sung by the Welsh soldiers at Rorke's Drift in ZULU or Tros y Garreg, (over the stone) or Morfa Rhuddlan about a medieval slaughter. .. and check out THE BORDER COVENANT a story of Welsh/American Patriots in the French and Indian War. Its got an indian massacre in it and the bad guy is a French Spy, its a brand new book im bringing out. Cheers!

@sksman71 You haters suck. Here's an idea - Actually watch a video you like so you don't have to post negative unnecessary comments.

Guess my Welsh pronounciation is not too good!
