'Mawddwy' is really a Welsh March but i put it under Barndance as March isn't an option on the dropdown. this is how i play it , as near as i can notate it. I'll post the traditional ABC below.
Pronounciation, is as follows;.....
Difyrrwch....= divur..ooch. ( Rolled 'r' ! and 'ch' pronounced
the same as in Scottish lo'ch'.)
Gwyr............= Gweer
Mawddwy....= Maw..th..wee ( 'th as in The (sounded))
