Description:
If this doesn't make you cry and ache with hiraeth nothing will .....Ryan Davies was the ultimate all round welsh entertainer. Sadly he died in 1977 aged just 40. A naturally funny man with a fantastic voice. His Myfanwy by far the best ... RIP Ryan.Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant celebrate with me.

Yes Gaynor, to quote Max Boice 'I was there'. Some of the other people I worked with as engineer at the Rankwere, Phil Collins, Kenny Ball, Acker Builk, Terry Lightfoot and Leo Sayer. At that time Mike Evans, who had beenone of our regular Disc Jockey's became Ryan's manager and after the sad , untimely deathof Ryan set up Black Mountain Recordswhich is still going strong today.

Cheers Jeff

Bore da Jeff

Oh, were you there for the recording? That must have been wonderful. I've had the album for many years and there's a woman who just cannot stop laughing on it. Remember the joke about being stopped by the police and asked to blow into a bag..."Why? Are your chips hot?".

All the best on this momentous day,

Gaynor

Hi Gaynor

It is 40years since Ryan recorded that album live at the Rank and I remember it well, as at the time I was the junior engineer working there'those were the days'.

Great man and not just a comedian; he was a really excellent dramatic actor too. I'll be getting an MP3 player soon and will download Ryan at the Rank.
