Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

Pedant alert: it's "iechyd da" and is pronounced with a distinct "e" sound as in the "e" in bed. (Almost.)

Sam Llewllyn... Say. Wasn't he Frodo's pal? :lol:


Happy Saint David's Day!

(Ought to be an auspicious day for me in spite of my indifferent theological upbringing)

Damn! Missed an 'e' out of his name. I assure you he does live just up the road from me. Would you like me to go and get him? :lol:

Seriously though, he was born in Scilly, moved all over the place and now lives in Herefordshire. Well, he did last time I checked.

It's still a good Welsh name ...

[And the other Sam is a Gamgee.]
