Re: Valentines Day
We're playing "Cupid in a Kilt", a selection of Scottish and Irish love songs for fellow Celts with my husband on guitar, banjo, mandolin and harmonica and me on keyboard, baritone ukulele, several whistles and both of us playing spoons, washboard, and bones. Besides all their songs about battles won and lost, the Scots and the Irish seem quite romantic but we're short of Welsh love songs. Does anybody know any Welsh songs that would be OK for Valentine's Day, apart from "The Ash Grove" and "All Through the Night"?

Myfanwy seems hardly to convey the appropriate sentiment for Valentine's Day, although it is lovely. Yr Eneth gadd ei Gwrthod (apologies for probably mangled spelling) is another beautiful folky song about an unmarried pregnant teenager who drowns herself in despair. Happy laughing stuff it is not. Maybe Dacw 'Nghariad is more traditionally sentimental... here's a recording, there may be links to other suitable stuff from here! on edit - and here's the drowning maiden one... |

Something from Lindisfarne perhaps?

Re: Valentines Day
I'll probably get the Mrs. a lovely big padded card festooned with roses, hearts and bows; with a poetic verse that proclaims my undying and eternal love for her... Or as I call it, a blow job voucher.

Re: Valentines Day
I'll be at home on me lonesome, waiting for my much better half to return from India that week, after missing both Valentine's Day and my Birthday.

Re: Valentines Day
My wife goes on a trip to Myrtle Beach with her grandmother and some other relatives on the 14th. I get to work and look after the dog.
It'll likely mean, being a man, that I'll be lazy and get a pizza delivery. The dog will no doubt be delighted to eat some of the crusts. That's love. |
