This could be really cool to give the Welsh some positive international exposure on the folk scene. What’s Ireland got that Wales hasn’t?! (Answers on a post card). Bla bla bla.<br /><br />Can’t wait for August – trying out Welsh traditions like bingedrinking and things. There’s a chance my brother Tarado will be coming along as well to play the llamadisecada, an old Andean instrument that only does one note because it’s a huge instrument and really hard to work your fingers over the holes at the other end when you’re blowing down this end – if you see what I mean – but Tarado plays it with great passion. He’s a lovely boy. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2071321165406462137-5637248832292350713?l=blogtegeingl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>nic blandfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10271837968781270756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071321165406462137.post-82902947814193806622008-03-18T16:34:00.000-07:002008-03-18T17:14:00.399-07:00<div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KRGHl5sMap4/R-BUUbM2ejI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Ib0wTDkhmXA/s1600-h/Twmpath_6_06012007.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179232281351846450" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KRGHl5sMap4/R-BUUbM2ejI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Ib0wTDkhmXA/s200/Twmpath_6_06012007.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>DYMA NI WEDI DECHRAU AR EIN HYNT ERS SAWL MIS O BWYLLGORAU A THRIN A THRAFOD DROS WYDRAU O GWRW MWYN...</div><br /><br /><div>Bai Bryn Peryddon ydy popeth: fo a'i syniadau mawreddog.."dwi 'di bwcio y clwb rygbi a 'dan ni mynd i gael gwyl werin yma...be' ti'n meddwl, 'ngwas i?"
