I was lucky enough to be taught music in high school by Rhys Jones. As a 14 year old in 1971, I can remember his daughter (Caryl Parry-Jones) and her friend (cannot remember her name) singing this song in morning assembly accompanied by Rhys. It left a huge impression on me and later on in life, as Musical Director of Welsh male voice choirs, this song always featured in my programmes. My involement with choirs brought me into contact with Rhys once again and we became firm friends and he was a great supporter of my work. A wonderful man, a great musician and still saddly missed by all who knew and loved him. This is a powerful arrangement and rendition of this lovely song by a choir of great technical ability, the diction here is amazing - straight on to my favourites list.
Love this performance it really captures the spirit of the words. Not sure on the pronunciation of “geinder”. I’d go more for gaynder rather than gineder. Otherwise lovely. Da iawn a diolch yn fawr.
Diddorol! Diolch yn fawr Calan. Wonderful music. Looking forward to hearing a lot more of you. You're loved here not only by this Welsh girl, but by her Arab husband and his family too. Music crossing cultures very easily.

Lovely! Greetings to all my Welsh cousins and friends in North Wales, and my friends on Belfastfolk ... from Jarrahnut (Colin) in wonderful Western Australia.
