    Croeso!

    The word ‘gwibdaith’ means a trip or outing. The word ‘frân’ means crow. – Old crow’s outing’ 😃

    Sorry to be late to the party, @William, @Fly I’m not around so much at the moment.

    I was only naturalised Welsh, lived and worked in the Heartlands in Snowdonia and the tip of the LlÅ·n for many years. I met Siân James at a Welsh language learners’ dinner. She is a fabulous harper and a lovely person. I was rusty on the harp and she offered to mentor me. She’s worth listening to for traditional music.

    Ironically, after living a short time in Perthshire, Scotland, sadly I’m back in Merrie England in my home city of The People’s Republic.

    I can also recommend Gwibdaith Hen Fran who are great fun. They are described as an ‘alternative trip folk band’. Funny, feel good music and lyrics.

    Gwyneth Glyn is another favourite. She has a beautiful voice and is a talented lyricist/poet.

    Pabi 🙂
