Calling Everyone! Help us Make the AmeriCymru Amazon Store Complete
Ceri's built an embedded Amazon store ( http://astore.amazon.com/americymrucom-20 ) for us under the Stores tab, above, ( also see advert in the center column ) and we want this to include every book, movie, album by Welsh authors, musicians, filmmakers, etc. If it's in Wales, about Wales or by a Welsh or Welsh-descended artist, we want it listed!We're going through to include whatever the two of us can find or know about and this is something everyone can help us with. If you've got a moment now and then, please have a look and suggest items for inclusion to either Ceri or myself. You can get to the store from the Stores tab or from the big honking ad in the top of the front page. If you've got something good to say about a work on Amazon, please give it a positive review so other people know it's good and it's Welsh!Thank you very much!
Hi anyone - if you want to get the manuscript of the National Saint David's Day Parade official song go to www.ylolfa.com. Male voice, female voice and mixed voice choirs as well as piano and voice.Best wishesGwenno
Gomer Press tend to do all things Welsh - and they still owe me a tenner for a photograph of the Park and Dare.
I would love to have my book added. It is called TOASTS FOR EVERY OCCASION by Jennifer Rahel Conover and it's a guide to and a history of toasts and toasting. I'm an American of Welsh descent and I have a number of Welsh toasts listed. Thanks and Iechyd da! Jennifer
>>I recommend Basic Welsh by Gareth King << I'd recommend anything by Gareth King. He explains things in a thoroughly user-friendly and accurate way.And. yes, a very good idea to have a learners section.I teach Welsh by the way, although I am not a native. I expect this is not useful information for most of your members who are in USA but the brightest Welsh learner I've had so far [aged 13 the first time - yes, he came twice] came from the States to spend his holiday here in Wales and do a crash course. He was amazing.There is a certain amount of free stuff here for Welsh learners. http://www.meirionnydd.force9.co.uk/welsh.htmlHwylDaff
Hi...just visited the above page. An excellent list of resources. I have added most of them and will certainly rate the list. I am something of a novice on Amazon but I will make a point of adding reviews and ratings of works by Welsh authors and encouraging others to do so.Diolch yn Fawr!
"So You Want to? Begin Learning Welsh"Here's the direct link to 40 books, tapes, and related materials I found. http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/syltguides/fullview/R2GKSL0NFGXA0B/ref=cm_pdp_sylt_title_1I have not seen them all first-hand, as I lack that leisure, energy, or affluence, but they may help your searches. You can rate this list itself, and click to find the entry for each item separately from the "Guide." It's also tabbed as "Guide" above my reviewer profile page that I sent in the previous post here.
I have listed under "So You Want to?" "Learn Welsh" on Amazon US a list of resources. Also, I have one of those typeface-variable boxes at the left of my review profile that has a big "Wales" and smaller "Welsh," "Welsh fiction," and "Welsh literature" fonts that may point you to resources reviewed by me. Finally, if I may say so, as a Top 500 Reviewer, I welcome "helpful" ratings; your votes may help boost visibility of Welsh books (and a bit of music) for you in turn. Amazon does "queer the pitch" by featuring the most-rated reviews over the "newest first" option, where many of mine may be found as I have rated them largely over the past fourteen months. You can link to my review page via my Google blogspot links or try my profile (I think): http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/AUEY946M1L939/ref=cm_aya_pdp_home
k...I'll add her right now....diolch!
One of my favorites is Welsh Singer Mary Hopkin born May 3, 1950 Pontardawe, Wales
Those Were The Days produced by Paul McCartney charted #1 in the UK, #2 in the US 1968
Goodbye written and produced by Paul McCartney charted #2 UK.1969 The Beatles "Get Back" had also just been released and "Get Back" skyrocketed to #1, otherwise it is thought that Goodbye from Mary Hopkin would have charted #1 in both the UK and the US.
Mary was born in Pontardawe, Wales to a Welsh-speaking family and began her musical career as a folk singer with a local group called the Selby Set and Mary. She released an EP of Welsh language songs for a local record label called Cambrian who were based in her home town, before signing to the Beatles' Apple Records. The model Twiggy saw her winning the British ITV television talent show Opportunity Knocks and recommended her to Paul McCartney.[1] She became one of the first artists to record on the Beatles' Apple record label. (from Wikipedia Wikipedia Mary Hopkin
Mary Hopkin sells her music on her own site. Some of her music is on her own label:
Mary Hopkin.com
Amazon.com also sells music from Mary Hopkin:

OK...I'll add them to the literature category...Cheers Clive.
