-With a renewed interest -in traditional music... | 0:00:02 | 0:00:08 | |
-..18 performers -were invited to Fishguard... | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
-..to perform their favourite songs -and folk tunes. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
-Traditional music has been created -over a number of years. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:24 | |
-It's been adapted -by different performers. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
-It really is honed. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
-Apart from being great songs, -some sound like contemporary songs. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:40 | |
-That's when I started singing -folk songs in panic, thinking... | 0:00:43 | 0:00:48 | |
-.."What if no-one recognises -these songs in 20 years' time?" | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
-That's the origin -of the recent demand... | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
-..for music created in the land -and inspired by our surroundings. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:03 | |
-What's the point in writing new -songs when such beautiful songs... | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
-..already exist in Wales? | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
-It's high time -we celebrated the tradition. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |

-Singing folk songs is something -I've always taken for granted. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
-I remember hearing my father, not my -mother, because she's tone deaf!... | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
-..but my father would sing... | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
-..and there were records by Plethyn -and Meic Stevens around the house. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |
-My interest -has grown over the years. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
-I came across Lloer Dirion... | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
-..in an ancient treasure trove -of folk music called iTunes! | 0:01:56 | 0:02:02 | |
-I was searching for a song... | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
-..and I found a beautiful version -by Julie Murphy and Fernhill. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
-I instantly fell in love with it. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
-I decided to change it -from the minor to the major key. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
-I sing a version of it... | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
-..that's -slightly less traumatic and dark. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:26 | |
-# Tender moon | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |

-# Through the charm of some magic | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-# The heart is so weak | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
-# I won't live long | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
-# When I saw your face | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
-# You wounded me like a sword | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
-# I received a wound without knowing | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
-# I am set apart | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
-# Ready for my grave | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
-# O Goddess, gentle and good | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |

-# On the things of the world | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
-# But on the goodness -of a worthy moonlight | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
-# I set my objective -clearly and completely | 0:04:18 | 0:04:24 | |
-# If I had only you | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
-# I would say surely | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
-# That enough wealth | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |

-..where we were both performing. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
-We got on instantly. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:22 | |
-I invited her -to play on my second album, Tonau. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |

-The Fureys, The Dubliners, -Davy Spillane... | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
-..as well as Ar Log, -Yr Hwntws, Plethyn. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |

-..Diofal Yw'r Aderyn. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
-I chose it because... | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
-Well, like a lot of folk songs, -I remember them from my childhood. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
-I decided to play the bouzouki -and came up with something... | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |

-I'm very fond of simple melodies... | 0:13:18 | 0:13:23 | |
-..with a limited range at times. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
-It gives more scope -to develop harmonies. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
-Usually I play harmonies underneath -the melody, which Huw usually plays. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:35 | |
-When I was young, -I always listened to folk music... | 0:16:59 | 0:17:04 | |
-..and traditional Welsh music... | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
-..from being -at the eisteddfod and at school. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
-Then I heard Gwyneth Glyn's music... | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
-..which inspired me -to write my own music. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |

-..which included -Bryn Terfel's version. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
-I love the way Bryn uses the words -and brings emotion to the song. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:44 | |
-That's why I chose the song. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
-I wanted to create the same effect -with me singing it... | 0:17:50 | 0:17:55 | |
-..if that's possible. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
-# Bring me my harp -was David's sad sigh | 0:18:19 | 0:18:29 | |

-Cass Meurig | 0:21:38 | 0:21:39 | |
-I started playing the lyre -in the year 2000. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
-I was interested -in the instrument... | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
-..because I was studying -the history of the violin in Wales. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
-The lyre preceded the violin. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
-It's a medieval instrument... | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
-..similar to the bagpipes -and the hurdy gurdy... | 0:21:56 | 0:22:02 | |
-..in that -it has a drone and harmonies. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
-There's no escaping it since -you're playing six strings at once. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:10 | |
-To me, it's a modern instrument. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
-It's an instrument -that I play in modern day. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
-I've no interest in recreating music -from the Middle Ages. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:24 | |
-I play it in a way that pleases me. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |

-Today, especially since we're living -in such a technological era... | 0:24:11 | 0:24:15 | |
-..where there's a lot -of mass-produced music around... | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
-..there's a greater demand... | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
-..for organic, home-grown music... | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
-..which belongs to us as a nation -and inspired by our surroundings. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:31 | |
-People throughout the ages... | 0:24:31 | 0:24:33 | |
-..have wanted to hear and needed to -understand their own stories. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:39 | |
-Folk songs are a way of preserving -those stories for posterity. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:44 | |
-Aled Hughes -from Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog... | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
-..was tasked with creating a -compilation CD of various artists.. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
-..of J Glyn Davies's songs -from his book, Cerddi Porthdinllaen. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:59 | |
-He realized there was a shortage -of shanties in Welsh culture... | 0:24:59 | 0:25:04 | |
-..so set about creating his own... | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
-..by borrowing melodies -from overseas. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
-I think the melody is Irish. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
-The Girl I Left Behind Me. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
-The lyrics express deep longing -but are also ambiguous. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:21 | |
-That's what inspired the song, -Yn Harbwr San Francisco. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:25 | |
-# That old silver moon | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
-# Above the world | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
-# Did you ever find the Welshman | 0:25:45 | 0:25:50 | |
-# Who ventured far | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
-# From his homeland | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
-# From Lleyn to San Francisco? | 0:25:57 | 0:26:02 | |
-# I appreciate your company | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
-# On the open sea | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |
-# You're at my anchor tonight | 0:26:10 | 0:26:15 | |
-# Like an old Welsh lady | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
-# Above the water | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
-# In San Francisco Harbour | 0:26:23 | 0:26:28 | |
-# Looks like daylight ashore | 0:26:36 | 0:26:41 | |
-# Everywhere is gleaming | 0:26:42 | 0:26:47 | |
-# Casting sparks across the water | 0:26:48 | 0:26:54 | |
-# In San Francisco Harbour | 0:26:54 | 0:26:59 | |
-# But I can see your white light | 0:27:00 | 0:27:06 | |
-# As I daydream | 0:27:06 | 0:27:12 | |
-# About Porthdinllaen | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
-# Its bay and its shore | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
-# From the faraway San Francisco | 0:27:21 | 0:27:26 | |
-# Mm-mm-hm | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
-# Mm-hm-hm | 0:27:39 | 0:27:43 | |
-# Hm-hm | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
-# Noise from the streets | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
-# Rings in my ears | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
-# The town is alive and thriving | 0:27:55 | 0:28:00 | |
-# And the clamour -of the town's hustle and bustle | 0:28:01 | 0:28:07 | |
-# Rings out -over San Francisco Harbour | 0:28:07 | 0:28:12 | |
-# But silent | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
-# Are Lleyn's shores | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
-# And all alone I listen | 0:28:19 | 0:28:24 | |
-# To the distant whirring | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
-# Of the waterwheel | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
-# From San Francisco Harbour | 0:28:33 | 0:28:38 | |
-# Tomorrow you'll reach -the Lleyn Peninsula | 0:28:46 | 0:28:51 | |
-# Seeing everyone who ever loved me | 0:28:52 | 0:28:58 | |
-# And seeing houses in a better land | 0:28:58 | 0:29:04 | |
-# Far away from San Francisco | 0:29:05 | 0:29:09 | |
-# You can venture quietly | 0:29:10 | 0:29:14 | |
-# On your way | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
-# No gale could ever prevent you | 0:29:17 | 0:29:22 | |
-# But turbulent storms | 0:29:23 | 0:29:27 | |
-# Await us | 0:29:27 | 0:29:31 | |
-# As we sail -to Porthdinllaen from Frisco | 0:29:31 | 0:29:36 | |
-# Yes, turbulent storms | 0:29:37 | 0:29:40 | |
-# Await us | 0:29:41 | 0:29:43 | |
-# As we sail -to Porthdinllaen from Frisco # | 0:29:45 | 0:29:50 | |
-I started off with Irish music... | 0:30:08 | 0:30:11 | |
-..but I was interested... | 0:30:11 | 0:30:15 | |
-..in finding out -what Welsh music had to offer. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:19 | |
-Oliver Wilson-Dickson | 0:30:24 | 0:30:26 | |
-I've realized... | 0:30:27 | 0:30:29 | |
-..that there are -many beautiful melodies... | 0:30:29 | 0:30:36 | |
-..in the Welsh tradition. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:38 | |
-I started from there. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
-History interests me a great deal. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:26 | |
-So does music. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:28 | |
-Those two interests -are entwined in old songs. | 0:34:28 | 0:34:31 | |
-Gwilym Bowen | 0:34:36 | 0:34:38 | |
-I've decided -to sing a song called Dod Dy Law. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:41 | |
-It's a perfect example -of a folk song. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:45 | |
-It's a combination -of a simple, memorable melody... | 0:34:45 | 0:34:48 | |
-..with great lyrics. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:51 | |
-The words don't lend themselves -to a particular time in history. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:56 | |
-There's no reference to herding oxen -and things like that. | 0:34:56 | 0:35:00 | |
-It's completely contemporary. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:02 | |
-# Place your hand lest you believe | 0:35:03 | 0:35:08 | |
-# On my breast without hurting me | 0:35:09 | 0:35:15 | |
-# If you listen you may hear | 0:35:15 | 0:35:21 | |
-# The sound -of my little heart breaking | 0:35:21 | 0:35:27 | |
-# Wind on the sea -and sun on the mountain | 0:35:30 | 0:35:35 | |
-# Grey stones in place of woods | 0:35:36 | 0:35:41 | |
-# Seagulls in place of people | 0:35:42 | 0:35:47 | |
-# Oh, God, must you break my heart | 0:35:47 | 0:35:54 | |
-# Heavy the lead, heavy the stones | 0:35:56 | 0:36:01 | |
-# Heavy is the heart -of all lonely people | 0:36:02 | 0:36:08 | |
-# Heaviest of all twixt sun and moon | 0:36:08 | 0:36:13 | |
-# Is bidding farewell -where there is love | 0:36:14 | 0:36:20 | |
-# Oh, my dearest, take a reed | 0:36:23 | 0:36:28 | |
-# And hold it at both ends | 0:36:29 | 0:36:34 | |
-# Break it in half | 0:36:34 | 0:36:40 | |
-# Just as you broke my heart # | 0:36:40 | 0:36:48 | |
-next... | 0:36:50 | 0:36:57 | |
