The heart strings pull so tight listening to this. Mam had this 45” in the “record collection” along with all the standard 60’s stuff. As a young boy growing up in rural Wales I foolishly assumed Jac a Wil were just as famous as Elvis and the Beatles. It was decades later that I found out the truth - they were bigger than Elvis !
I am all welsh but forgotten how to write in welsh and this song brings back memories to me when I started working underground in 1967 and all the old coal miners use to sing this song.
