    The song at 2.40 is a combination of the words of the welsh song 'Calon Lan' set to the music of the New Zealand song 'Pokarekare Ana' - arranged by Alwyn Humphreys

    I just found this! I love male choirs and know the Welsh male choirs are legendary. Germans also had their male choir tradition. Even when transplanted to Texas, they would hold concerts.

    I am from the Victoria Welsh Choir based in Blackburn (Melbourne) and participated in the Massed male Choir event in the Albert Hall in 1995. I was seated next to Richard Burton's brother and he congratulated me on my Welsh pronunciation. Our female soloist was honoured to sing Unwaith Eto'n 'Nghymru Annwyl at that event. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the whole programme with most of the songs part of our repertoire. Glad the Festival continues to be celebrated.

Instead of the Past let the future look this good, the beauty of the web connection is that your supporters like me are here to encourage you guys, let it happen again, you can ask your followers, who wants it the REPLAY? I do.

    This is as grea,t as it is sung by the crowd at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff before the Home Rugby International matcH I think if I was a Welsh International Player and heard this sung before the match I would be worked up to do my best on the field of play and really tear into the opposing side Especially if it is England; "Cwm Rhondda" is the song better than the Welsh National Anthum which is a Great Song too
