What’s happening to all the Welsh societies in America??
Promoting Wales in the USA
I don't think its generational per say. Quoting from my first post " most of the Welsh groups seemed to be tied to a church, and there activities were focused on Choir singing. Yes, we know that seems to be a big thing is Welsh culture. Not that we had anything against that, but it just wasnt out thing. We were more interested in the other things of Welsh culture, food, drink, dancing, and prechristian history. " The reason the Irish Celts, and the Scottish Celts are doing so well now is that they celebrate the defiant warrior, the poetry of love dance and song, and the camaraderie of the drink. There is nothing churchey or religious hinted at in these groups (at least in America). And most folks here in America tend to be turned off when when it is brought into there personal time (and happens not to be in there tradition of worship).
What we want to do is to create a society that is uniquely Welsh but is devoid of anything religious. In the prechristian era the Welsh were the fieriest warriors more so than the Scots or Irish combined. There mythology, and music is rich there dance unique.
The problem is, we are Americans and really don't know that much about Welsh traditions. We need help in developing literately everything. We know we are of Welsh decent, we know we are Celtic, we admire the notoriety on the Scots, and Irish but want to be identified as Welsh Celts.
