0:02:01 > 0:02:05- You'll find a people - singing on the piano here...
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- ..and a band has just - entered the building.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- There's also a lot of history - surrounding this wonderful street.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- It's certainly a historic street.
0:02:17 > 0:02:23- The name Womanby stems back to - the 13th century, around 1280.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- It was known then - as Hundemanby Street.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Its interesting name - means houndsman's homestead.
0:02:31 > 0:02:40- 'Hound' is from Hundemanby - and is Norse from the Viking period.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45- Did the street possess a Welsh name?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- The Red Cow pub stood here - in the 19th century...
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- ..and disappeared - in the Victorian Era.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- It was custom to call the street - Red Cow Lane in English...
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- ..and there is record of the Welsh - referring to it as Heol Y Red Cow.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- People wanted to change it - to Heol Y Fuwch Goch.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- But on the other hand, - Womanby is a historical name.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Only in recent years - has the street been considered...
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- ..as the place for - the Welsh music scene...
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- ..but there's mention of it - starting two centuries ago.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- At the top of the street, - we have the former Dempsey's bar.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Historically, it was The Globe pub.

0:03:34 > 0:03:40- They invited individuals like - Iolo Morganwg to join them.
0:03:40 > 0:03:46- The former home of The Red Cow - has a record in the back room...

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- With Clwb Ifor Bach - and other venues here...
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- ..I think it's imperative - that the tradition continues.
