The History of Welsh (American) Whiskey
05/27/10 04:41:06PM, by Mike Briercliffe
You are all probably aware that there is a very acceptable Malt Whisky, alongScotslines, distilled at the villagePenderyn, which is near Merthyr and in the County Lines of Brecon? There's also a Brecon Gin produced there which is equally notable.But ... who has explored the origins of the American Whiskies and suchfamousnames as Jack Daniels and Evan Williams?It's worth a dig. You may discover that the Welsh Whiskey makers were driven out of Wales and that this factor was one of the original...
Pibau Cymreig - Welsh Bagpipes - Pibgorn
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 language comedians? Digrifwyr yn Gymraeg
08/10/09 08:19:03PM, by Rebecca Redmile
I find the hardest thing about learning Welsh is the humour. Even "Stori'r Dydd" in the Eisteddfod, I'll be following along happily and all of a sudden the punchline will come, everybody's roaring with laughter in the Pabell Len, and I'm bewilderedly trying to figure out what was so funny. Maybe Welsh humour isn't like Canadian humour, but where can a learner get some good practice listening to it? And don't anybody write back and recommend the daily digest from Y Cynulliad!

Welsh Lovespoons What Are They To You?
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?

Sir Thomas Button is considered to the be the first Welshman to arrive in Canada and is most famous for "exploring and securing the west coast of Hudson Bay for [Britain] country he named the area New North Wales and New South Wales". In 1612, Sir Thomas commanded the ships Resolution and Discovery in a search for the fabled NW Passage, which didn't exist but his voyage mapped and explored Hudson's Bay and went on to a long naval career. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Button...
Welsh-Canadian History, Explorer David Thompson

Thompson explored and surveyed more than 3 million square kilometers of North America. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Thompson_ (explorer) http://www.thefurtrapper.com/david_thompson.htm
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...
