3 short videos on Swnami’s visit to Eurosonic in Gronigen - the most important European music event for bands showcasing their music.
Edit: it’s actually spelt Groningen, thought it didn’t look right BBC!

On the way home this afternoon, I was listening to my new Candelas CD in the car and I was pleased to be able to pick out some words. On one track I thought I could hear some complete phrases, but they didn’t quite make sense. What I thought I heard was, “Wyt ti dalu whelk(!?) a pysgod yn y nos?”
Why, I thought, were they singing about whelks and fish in the night, why were you paying for them and why did talu mutate? Was it an idiom, like raining old women and sticks, that I hadn’t heard of? What was a fish in the night?
I put the track on repeat. By the time I was home, I’d heard it four times at least…
And then I realised what they were singing something like (I hope):
“Wyt ti dal i weld (y) cysgodion y nos?” - Are you still seeing the night shadows/shadows in the night?
The are playing at the rugby club in Machynlleth on 13th February - I’ll be able to sing-a-long Candelas

My daughter, Tegwen, and I started singing “Wyt ti’n dal i fwyta sglodion yn y nos?” along to this song when it first started getting plays on Radio Cymru, inspired, i think, by a mis-hearing by a member of this very forum, and now we can’t stop! I don’t think I could sing the real words without really, really concentrating!
I’m currently rather seriously ill, but the target I’ve set myself is to be well enough to make it over the mountains to Mach on the 13th.

Diolch bawb. Bit of a rough day today, but I think it’s just a blip on the road to recovery. Just waiting for new medication to kick in.

Unable to get this song out of my head from these hogia o Dyffryn Nantlle. The distinctive way they pronounce their words is great. No idea what they’re singing about…Reu is a local word in the valley with dozens of meanings - Helo, Hŵyl, Ia, Na, Cŵl, etc…it can mean whatever you want it to mean actŵli.

I am a big fan of Y Reu. I have a few of their songs which they have made available on Soundcloud. Their single “Haf” is my favourite, and is available on iTunes.
I’ve just uploaded this from an old edition of Nodyn back in 2011
