Any man from the British Isles who claims to be from the "South Coast", is not a real Britisher apparently. My Old Dad and my glorious DNA is from Hastings, let's forget 55 BC 54 BC and 1066, all the REAL men were in the North.. waiting. Cheers mate .
Apparently... I've been misinformed for quite a many years. Santo Patriko turns out to be from... Scotland, actually. Roman-blood from west end of The Wall, specifically.
RIP to Col. Rick Rescorla, 9/11/2001. He was last heard singing this as he directed people from the WTC that day saving hundreds of lives while giving his own.
Yes, indeed! He made one more trip to save one more person...and found that the smoke was clearing as he ascended and the Gates of Pearl came into view!
I'm a 73 year old retired US Marine, who's twice been to war, and I burst into tears when I heard this! GOD BLESS WALES! Semper Fidelis! 0205 CWO4 USMCR [Ret] 17 February 1969 - 1 August 2004
Yes she has, listen to her VOICE OF ANGEL, that's where I first got acquainted with that angelic voice. If anything it has gotten better over the years
My Grandad was Welsh and an Old Contemptible of the 2nd Batt Royal Welsh Fusiliers .When the film Zulu was shown in our town an old man stood to attention alone in the cinema when the soldiers sung this song .God Bless Granfer what patriotism.
Almost all of these men were British regulars of B Company, 2nd Battalion, 24th (2nd Warwickshire) Regiment of Foot (2nd/24th) under Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead.
From the coal country in eastern Pennsylvania: every St David's Day, we would sing Welsh hymns and Welsh music like this song in our church. I'm 73 and how i miss this wonderful music.
What a patriotic performance! A young girl with great pride for her country, its heritage and her roots. And why not? Wales is a beautiful country. So says an Englishman.
There is an old Irish blessing you say when entering another man's house for the first time. I say it now to the nation of Wales. "God bless this house and all who dwell here".
I heard this and wanted to march into a horde of Normans with a smile and a rock in my hand. I'm Irish but by god no one sings like the welsh. Outstanding song and the most beautiful language on earth. Welsh is what angels sound like.
I'd rather march into a horde of English racist xenophobe tories with a smile, an LMG and a haversack of full mags - wouldn't matter whether it was to Men of Harlech, Amhran na Bfiann, Flower of Scotland or the Europa Hymne. WHO'S WITH ME?
I am English but l lost a mate in Wales while camping with the my Boy scouts club from a accident in 1958 so everytime l hear that fantastic song it brings me to tears
Holy cow, i remember when she first came to prominence but never listened to anything of hers. What a bloody voice. No wonder they called her voice of an angel
Britannia Why do you think I'm white? Bizarre... And I'm a coward for offering an opinion different from yours? Even more bizarre (but very British of you). You seem to be confusing the events in the movie "Zulu" with what actually happened in reality. That's not how movies work. What about this for reality... The British Army and associated colonial troops were armed with state of the art firearms (for the time period), faced a force of untrained (in modern warfare of that period) farmers armed with spears and cow-hide shields. This gave the British a colossal superiority over their foe. This is a fact. After the battle Trooper William James Clarke of the Natal Mounted Police described in his diary that 'altogether we buried 375 Zulus and some wounded were thrown into the grave... We were very bitter and did not spare the wounded Zulus' Lieutenant Horace Smith-Dorrien wrote that the day after the battle an improvised gallows was used "for hanging Zulus who were supposed to have behaved treacherously'. (British justice) Many wounded Zulus were summarily executed on the Battlefield where they lay. A war crime by modern standards. I have no doubt that the individual British soldiers were brave, fought well and did their duty on the day. But please don't try to make it out like a glorious victory for the British Empire. It was another squalid and shameful event in the history of the inglorious, blood soaked British empire. In the words of the song; "Come tell us how you slew, the poor Arabs two by two, Or the Zulus armed with their bow and arrows. How you bravely slew each one, With your sixteen pounder gun, You frightened them poor natives to their marrow'. And I'm a brat? I'm quite close to pension age!!! LOL!!!
😊I was lucky to hear this live at a park in Kearny NJ a wee town with a lot of Scots. Celtic were playing at Giants stadium and there was quite a lot of Celtic fans in the audience, many quite fou the noo.🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸
The welch singing men of Harlech love it and there's nothing like listening to the The Principality Studium in full voice singing Land Of My Father's sung with such passion it always makes me cry
I am Australia I came to England in the 60. Liverpool people are the salt off the earth I services in the first kings regerment now in my 80.thank you to all
Perfect advert for the nation of Wales 🏴 bless her. Good god we missed the the bus in England 🏴 seriously what have we got? I know Charlotte lost her way at times while becoming a woman but she remains a wild Welsh dragon at heart.... Bless her always 👍 Ray 🏴
You can be forgiven when you understand that only 10 soldiers of the 1/24 that fought in the battle were Welsh. Many of the soldiers of the junior battalion, the 2/24, were Welshmen.[55] Of the 122 soldiers of the 24th Regiment present at the Battle of Rorke's Drift, 49 are known to have been of English nationality, 32 were Welsh, 16 were Irish, one was a Scot, and three were born overseas. The nationalities of the remaining 21 are unknown.[56]
Rousing inspirational song.......up there with Le Marseillaise as a stirring national song , what a fabulous rendition by Charlotte Church and the London Welsh Male voice choir bravo !!!
Not much of a compliment?????? Cant get better than THE BEST!!! This is directed to INTERNATION PARAM.🤦♀️🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
I sang this song at Harlech Castle in Wales with my family and family friends in 1982 when I was twelve! That is an experience I will never forget...some English school children on a field trip thought we were famous and wanted their photo taken with us! Almost half of those who sang it with us there then are gone now. This song means a lot to me and this rendition by Charlotte Church and the Welsh Men’s Choir makes me tear up!
I was on a train today from Portmadoc to Shrewsbury and while we were stopped in Harlech station I played this recording of Charlotte Church and the Welsh choir with the castle right above us in full view Very atmospheric. Cymru an byth and long live th Celtic people. I love the Western Scottish Highlands and Islands too and go there regularly too. Wonderful!
years ago while watching tv, i saw her singing, she was only 14 or 15 at the time, and i was so amazed by her singing. when they said who she was, the next day i went out and bought her cd. a voice of an angel
I hadn't heard about her foray into pop music. She remains so sweet and charming and good. This is surely one of the most underrated nationalistic songs. I have never heard a good recording of it. So, thanks, RUclips.
Oh my life!! My mother used to sing this, she died 23 years ago, but a day doesnt go by when I dont think of how fortunate I was to have such a wonderful mother - this had me in bits… tears of joy - diolch yn fawr 🎵❤️
She is the embodiment of joy. Ms. Church is a delight to watch, and it is so wonderful to revel in 'the young lads' and the orchestra meshing so well with this splendid treasure of a woman. Thank you for sharing this. I return to this performance often, with much pleasure.
I cried too Joseph Schmidt. Me a man of 62 years of age. My Dad was Welsh and my Mum was French. Even though I was born in Wales(Cardiff) and I grew up there, I've been living in France since 1980. Despite this I still have some fond memories of Wales and this song is one of them.
The Welsh love to sing. and no one on earth can do it quite like they can, and Charlotte is a true treasure! Best male choirs on the planet! Cwm Rhondda!!
Englishman here. No nation in the world can project their national identity better than the Welsh. Beautiful country, people and culture.
❤❤ TOTALLY AGREE
WELSH THE BEST SINGERS ....EVER .🍒
New Zealander here. Couldn't agree more
NOT YOUR FAULT...LOVE XXXX
Damn right! Canadian born of Welsh-Irish ancestry. No better singers, scholars and soldiers in the world! Amen.
Pity the English don't think the same of us...! ;-)
As an Irishman from the South Coast, I swear I hear this on the wind every time I sail back to Fishguard on my way back to Sussex 😊❤
You know Patrick came from Wales, yeah?

Charlotte Church is an amazing singer a pure pleasure to listen too. The mens choir is a great accompaniment to a great anthem :)
She hits the high notes with such easy power.
Brings a tear to my eye every time especially the Welsh part
This song has seen me through some dark days and it will always keep me fighting!
This is incredibly beautiful. Charlotte had the voice of an angel.
It must be so emotional for any Welsh person, I'm English and I'm loving it. Charlotte did a wonderful job.

To end the performance, A proper CURTSY!! by Charlotte Church! What a magnificent acknowledgment of respect.
If your not Welsh, never mind,!!! We Welsh loved it 😁😁😁
I'm not but would love to learn Welsh. Too bad it doesn't appear to be a language choice on duo lingo.
I love the contrast between her speaking voice and her singing voice!!
Sung like an Angel then, and today she still does although we don’t see enough of her ❤️❤️
Always love this song and gives me goosebumps. Proud of my Welsh great grandfather 🏴
Unbelievable voice. The Welsh really can sing.
