Due to the Covid19 lockdown, and with there being no sessions possible at the moment, we made a couple more videos using additional footage from this session at The Whistling Badger in Llanidloes. We mixed them with footage of local scenic areas which we were able to visit later in 2020 when the lockdown restrictions were eased outdoors for a while. The first features some more Welsh tunes and views of the nearby Clywedog Dam: ruclips.net/video/pWrtkawXlZg/видео.html, whilst the second video features a lovely set - Bwlch Llanberis & Charlotte Russe - and also shows a beautiful walk around the Clywedog Reservoir - ruclips.net/video/Etawa9sNv9s/видео.html
We hope you enjoy these as much as the original video! 😀
@Colton Mathew HOLY **** IT ACTUALLY WORKED! I literally hacked my ig account details within about 45 mins of using the site.
I had to pay 15$ but for sure worth the money =)
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
Hope the session is running again post lockdown.
😍 I’m half welsh but grew up in England and listening to this makes me so proud of my welsh heritage and my country!
Diolch yn fawr iawn
My ancestors came from Wales from what my grandfather would tell me and so I looked up our last name which is Evans and traced our ancestry to Wales settling in Bucks, Pa as Quakers in 1718.
I recognised a few people in this video, and guessed which town in mid Wales it might be, then the view of the old market hall at the bottom of Great Oak Street gave it away! ❤
Very nice. My ancestors were from Wales, and they came to America in the early 1700's. I love the music!
Thanks for watching & commenting. Do you know which part of Wales your ancestors came from?
@@TheTenterhookTimes No, I do not know what part. Tracing back, I've found evidence they were here hunting in North Carolina in 1752. I got that from the Spangenburg Diaries., Moravians who were exploring North Carolina at the time met William Owen and his son returning from a hunt, and they were 80 miles from any settlement.
For the longest time I knew my paternal lineage was English (around Surrey, c. 1570) but I was surprised when my uncle's research went back even further - to Pembrokeshire, Wales, c. 1425!
Well, I’ve seen, and heard many a whistling badger, last thing at night after leaving a Welsh pub. This must be one of the best. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Diolch yn fawr iawn 🦡🦡🎶🎶😀
Superb in every way. R.
Ahh, thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Wow! So glad I stumbled upon this! Thank you for keeping traditional folk music alive.
Hi Rachel, thanks, glad you enjoyed it and appreciate your comment. Definitely keen to keep the traditional folk music alive! 🎶🎶❤
I'm also a musician, with guitar being my main go to, along with bass, banjo, and mandolin and I play a wide range of music. So hearing this is a real treat!
I miss being able to go to sessions.
I think I heard the badger whistling along to a couple of these tunes....! What a great session! #KeepingMusicLive in Llanidloes!
makes me wish I was there
Definitely looking forward to the return of traditional music sessions - missed them so much this past year. Thanks for watching! 😀
I like his bones style. I’ve never seen them played that way. It is a very controlled way of playing.
Live the sounds that comes from each of the instruments. Lovely jolly tunes .wish I was there. X
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it!
Mighty fine session
Thanks Seamus, glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Great music. But where Is tha smiles an laughter???❤❤❤
Some day we will visit and join in!
Hope some day soon the sessions will be restarting and we can welcome people back!
Well done from down the road at Llanfyllin.
Hello Llanfyllin! Thanks for watching! 😀
Wow I love hearing the clarinet, that’s so cool. I played it when I was younger. Thanks Mid Wales, glad you recorded this. This is the kind of music we like to play around here, too, in Mendocino, California.
Hello Gitta and Mendocino county California! We travelled through your part of the world on a road trip we made in 1991 - such a long time ago now but we have some amazing memories. We met up with some folk musicians further South in the state and played together. Thanks for watching! 😃👍
Que grandes !!! Lo que daría por está r en ese bar exando unas y escuchando esta maravilla
¡Gracias por ver! 👍😀
incredible
Thanks for watching! 😀
Love this ♥
Thank you! Can't wait for sessions to start up again after lockdown - missing them so much!
Cool!
Love the music. Not as strident and piercing as other pub sessions I have heard.
Somebody has a loose spring in their seat.
Welsh tunes!?
Gwych!
Cymru am byth
Diolch am wylio! 😃
@@TheTenterhookTimes Croeso! 😉
Yes, all Welsh tunes (...although one of them is the Welsh variant of a pan-British/Irish tune).
When you hear this, English, Scottish and Irish folk music, you realise we really are one people, we just have local flavours and are all the more richer for it!
Cymry, Scottish, and Irish, yes. But to say that the English are the same as us is not only historically, biologically, and culturally untrue, it's completely disrespectful and erasive considering the milennia we have spent under their oppression.
@@anachronism45 I'd refer to it as a celebration of their identities, rather than the erasure of it!... Maybe it's a perspective/viewpoint issue... maybe we just see things differently?
@@anachronism45 I'm Cymry (or 'Welsh' if ignorance so insists), maybe I should have clarified. All I was saying was we, Scottish, and Irish people can relate to each other on a 1:1 level through our experience of exactly the same form of oppression from the English. I do get what you're saying about us being separate and unique cultures, yes, but my point wasn't to frame it as us 'unified' celtic folk VS the english, just that they don't get a seat at the table when we talk in terms of cultural practice. They lost their right to that seat when they abused and silenced us. I do want to reiterate plainly that I completely agree with you in terms of 'celtic' thinking being overly broad and reductive.
@@quitspogo9027 Talking about folk and traditional music, then you are perpetuating a lie. English folk dance, and song is intimately connected to that of Scotland, Wales and Ireland. It is literally impossible to tell the story of folk and traditional music in these islands without including English folk music. Anyone trying to do with is a cloth-eared ignoramus, or is simply prejudiced and is denying the obvious.
Next, please don't conflate the history of Wales and Scotland with that of Ireland. You talk about "disrespect", but you are trying to pretend that the British (yes, the British) Empire did not exist. Scotland and Wales had precisely the same relationship with the Empire as England did, they were colonialists. Disrespect is pretending that the history of Scotland and Ireland are the same ... Scotland colonised Ireland.
btw. prejudiced ethno-nationalism doesn't fly with me.
"just that they [English] don't get a seat at the table when we talk in terms of cultural practice" ... funny that, I've had a "seat at the table" thousands of times, playing music with Irish and Scottish people; often playing English tunes. Is that enough "cultural practice" for you?
At what point did English folk musicians "silence" you? You talk in very personal terms here. I'm a keen student of Irish history and the history of Irish music (I'm not going to exclusively lump it in with Scotland or Wales here), and I'm not aware of anything of the kind happening. British colonialism happened in Ireland, but you seem to have a strange angle upon what happened.
Ukulele HollyBloe Bard Ovate! Love you USA
Did Helga Hufflepuff have anything to do with this pub at all?
Haha! Lovely comment! The Whistling Badger would be the perfect spot for a little Harry Potter tale to unfold! 👍🧙♀️
Rhyfeddol, diolch
Diolch am wylio!
Would like to know the name of the first tune .
It's a Welsh tune, Cariad Gân y Sguthan (The Woodpigeon's Love Song).
My ancestor Robert Day (Dee) came to America in 1634 but I am learning to speak Welsh slowly online. Diolch yn fawr lawn.
Anhygoel! Pob lwc i chi 😀 x
Very bad bones player ! Someone knows a real good one, named "Tosie" from Ennis, co Clare ? Never seen a better !
What a dour, lifeless bunch of folk! It's like they're playing at gunpoint.
You're right, but at least they are trying - I wish more people in Wales would. Sessions like this are thin on the ground.
Yes, we were. The gunman was just out of shot.
The first few tunes could have benefited from a break in that constant, intrusive percussion. The non-stop clicking is grating. And unfortunately, the jaw harp did not add much either. Too bad, as otherwise worth a listen.
Yes, I would have loved to hear the bodhran switched at least part way through. I see one being played but not heard.
Yes, I find the strumming, intrusive too, often with inappropriate chords, but nice tunes.
Come on guys, this ain't the Royal Albert Hall! This is the internet - showcases everything, everywhere.
This sounds more Irish than Welsh.
Maybe because they are both Celtic, mind you irish music sounds like Welsh, and Irish is more commercial than Welsh .
@@mikesummers6880 your explanation makes perfect sense
There’s a book of Irish session tunes on one of the tables. It is shown at 2:59
#similarities
Well spotted! 👍
Wanted to hear more bodhran. The click clack sound was more annoying than anything. 😑
This is clearly Irish, there's even a bodhrán ffs
If you eat chips with chopsticks, does it make them Chinese?
@@rhapsagyes
@@rhapsag It's obviously Italian because they're playing violins ...
