01/18/09 03:51:13PM, by Ray Price

Hello all who are interested.As someone who makes his living as a bagpiper, I'd love to share a discussion on Pibau Cymreig, Pibgorn and bagpipes in general.I have many friends who play the Pibau Cymreig and Pibgorn - Antwyn from Carreg Lafar, Ceri from Fernhill and Jonathan from Taran included. I don't own either, but when the economy gets better, I intend to buy a Pibau. My pipes are the Breton "veuze" and the "English border bagpipe." Here's a photograph of my "Sonneurs de Couple" (myself...

Welsh Christmas story (Nadolig Llawen!)

12/22/20 09:43:36PM, by Rhian Waller

Hwyl, pawb!  Sorry to crash back in like this after an absence of, er, eight years. I just thought you would be the kind of people who would appreciate this.  It's a children's Christmas tale written especially because we can't do our usual seasonal storytelling this year. It's set in south Wales and based on a (mostly true) family story, but it came about because Teresa mayor of Yr Wyddgrug asked me to write it. This is her reading. I thought you or your kids might want to...

05/04/16 04:59:46PM, by David Western

I'm interested in hearing from Welsh and non-Welsh alike to learn what, in your opinion, constitutes a good Welsh love -spoon.  What do you believe are the features which must be present for it to be a lovespoon and do you feel the lovespoon tradition is one worth keeping?  

The Welsh Snow/Sand Castle Contest

01/13/09 04:53:03AM, by Ceri Shaw

With half the country under snow, we thought it would be fun to throw down the gauntlet in a photo contest challenge to who can create the best snow or sand castle (depending on your latitude) . The rules are pretty simple, make a castle/fort looking thing out of snow or sand, stick a Welsh flag on the top of it, take a picture and post it on this forum . If anyone fancies taking up the position of adjudicating the contest in exchange for offering a prize to the winner it would be...

teaching your children Welsh in the states..

07/22/08 01:51:30AM, by Dafydd Owain Hughes

..are there any other Welsh speakers out there, who have married a non-Welsh speaker and have children born here that they have a hard time teaching 'yr Iaith'.? My wife was born in northern Ireland to American parents; she would love for me to teach them Welsh, but I find it difficult in my every day schedule to do it. They know some basic phrases, but I feel like they will never have even a basic grasp of the language...being from Ynys Mon I would love it if they could retain some aspect of...
