My great grandmother of Welsh descent was known for her singing voice. I was imagining that maybe this is what she sounded like when she sang. Most certainly this is one of the songs she knew. I have been told that there were times when the rest of the congregation stopped singing just so they could hear her, alone.
This is the loveliest version of this song I have ever heard. We used to sing it in school. My parents are Welsh, so this song always reminds me so wistfully of home. It was only the other day that I realised that my flat overlooks a little grove of trees, right in the middle of London, some of which are ash trees, so now, the ash grove is my home. I have been listening to it over and over again during lockdown with great joy. Thank you.
Such tuneful singing, gentle sensitive playing and such a gentle spacious arrangement for the accompaniment. You brought to life the contemplative beauty of this wonderful folksong. Many thanks.
This is the most beautiful version of all the versions I heard yet of that tune. Your voices are so brilliant. Now I play it myself on hammered dulcimer.
This was the first of your recordings I came across, a couple of years ago I think. It's a lovely song, and I haven't come across a rendition I prefer. I also like the utilitarian background, and the look you give each other at the end! So much better than an over-produced video.
It is just wonderful! The phrasing and the breathing are beautifully done ! I would love to hear the harmony part just a little softer. Thank you both for such a lovely performance! David
Absolutely lovely - I love playing this song myself and never tire of it. Only difference is - I murder it but you do this fine song the justice it deserves. Thank you.
Je viens de vous découvrir et je suis en admiration ! ; En plus d'une voix magnifique, vous possédez la grâce et la beauté, un véritable miracle de la nature en sommes !!
I have loved this song for years...it showed up in an old songbook and I have played it with my Dad on piano and cello or just for myself but I had no idea anyone else knew of it. Delightful to see new life being breathed into it, literally. Lovely, sensitive performance and the words are so much a part of its charm. I have now found it in the original Welsh as well. Thank you both!
Splendid! I am undertaking lessons so that I too may be able to do justice to such songs. I wish I had grown up with such friends, I had the desire to sing and play from a young, yet it was not a popular pastime in our community nor in my family; though I was able to convince my parents to permit me to begin learning the violin at 14, it was not so accessible.
Beautiful! I've listened to this video many times over the years, and now I see it says it was published 9 years ago. Wow. Here's an idea... could both of you get together to re-record this as an "encore" performance? It would be interesting and I'm sure beautiful to see how you would render it 9 years later!
This is beautiful!!! The beginning is a lot more reminiscent of the version I learned way back when at Madrone Trail than what Ive found so far. Thank you for this!!
Hi! I love your music and song. I also loveeeeeeeeeeee Star of The County Down, its great and wonderfull. I subscribed when I listened to Star of The County Down. Thank You for this wonderfull song too! :) :D
I adore this. I do wish that the first singer would continue being the dominant voice allowing the descant to float above it, instead of singing less pronouncedly when both parts were combined, which caused the melody to become slightly less trackable inside the very lovely, but slightly louder descant. I loved hearing both voices between 2:10 and 2:20 and I was so sad to hear the melody line "fade" a bit, after that, until both voices sang in unison. But really, really really lovely. This is a gift.
TheSauce Group doesnt mean they cant learn it, all these weird american fan girls are bat shit crazy for k pop even though its korean but they still sing it 🙄
I was able to mostly fix the sound track that drops off steeply at minute 2:19 using iMovie on my Mac Mini. If La Harpe de Melodie wants the m4a correction, let me know where to send it and I'll email it to you. I wouldn't have spent so much time on this project if this song wasn't so beautifully rendered. Good job, ladies.
My church took this song and christed it...so I like that I get to hear it's original, yes I think euro music is goofy sometimes but great great vocals and syncopation...and now I know about Herman of the dew or whatever, and the meaning of this song...I got a tour for something authentic and to me it's beautiful, in it's difference from my own culture
brings to mind two other tunes: we wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year the more we get together (did you ever see a lassie) and I'm not even going to mention the other one

I've been watching and listening this video for 7years.
Jeez. Still great music so far.

Forgive my poor English. I am a Russian from Moscow. I really love this song. the girls are so beautiful. wonderful Singing , thank you very much😊
How could anyone give this a thumbs down.. This is so wonderful.
My guess is that their speakers were poor quality or they were playing heavy metal music that drowned out the beautiful sounds of this recording!🤣
See llwyd above...daft words
You two sing like angels 😇!
The Ash Grove song soothes a grieving heart
Such tuneful singing, gentle sensitive playing and such a gentle spacious arrangement for the accompaniment. You brought to life the contemplative beauty of this wonderful folksong. Many thanks.
I love the song Ash Grove. It's such a beautiful song. I used to sing the song with the tune of Ash Grove when I went to my aunt's church.
what sweet voices these girls have! a true blessing of God xo

I find myself playing this over and over again. Thank you!

Beautiful voices. Beautiful girls. Hugs and kisses
Unbelievably sweet and touching
This is a beautiful rendering of our lovely Welsh song.
I'd hear it sung in Spanish next.
This is beautiful. Thanks ladies!!
This is truly beautiful. These girls just have a special something that makes me wish I could be their friend.

The two musicians are enchanting.
Their voices recall angels and their song.

Right at the spot you identified, I make a manual adjustment every time I listen to this video. Which is a lot, being so beautifully sung.
Its been a while since you left this comments so I understand if I'm too late, but would it still be possible for you to send it? Thanks so much!!
