why do all Welsh tunes appear to be hornpipes or polkas?? Are there any Welsh Reels? Ah well lads - at least we've still got the rugby...oh no wait...thats right - we lost!

This dance tune is lovely played with the jaunty feel and tempo of a 2/4 march , though some modern takes on it tend to crank it up to higher tempos...

the first part sounds like the French trad song: 'Mon père m'a donné un mari, mon dieu quel homme, quel petit homme!"
