Though I was actually born & raised in Australia, every time that I play this track, I feel very "Home-sick". From the moment I was born and with a very proud Welsh Father, was brought up hearing and reading a lot about Wales and listening to Welsh Music. My Dad even took us there when I was a lad of 14. We spent two and a half months in Wales meeting my Relatives. I carry a very deep Hiraeth to return to Wales one day before I leave this life! Would love to sing with a Welsh Choir in Wales also
I was brought up in Morriston,and love The Orpheus. My uncle and brother sang with the choir for many years. I always thought that Max Boyce wrote this song.
When my aunt died I inherited her husband and looked after him until he died last Friday. He was from Swansea and this is what will be played when we all go into the chapel. I am going to take his and my aunt's ashes and blend them (that's what he wanted) and they will go into the sea off Mumbles Head. They used to have a holiday flat there and they loved the area.
