	Dafydd Iwan, Caneuon Gwerin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Dafydd Iwan, father of the Welsh folk music renaissance, recorded this fine collection of traditional folk tunes of Wales after 30 years as a singer-songwriter and activist.
		Iwan, the musician, is best known for turning tunes such as "My Way" and "This Land is Your Land" into Welsh nationalist anthems, and for writing a few of his own such as "I'r Gad (To Battle)" and "Yma O Hyd (Still Here)." He was co-founder of Sain, the premier Welsh recording company.
		The songs on Caneuon Gwerin have been sung before and will be again, but this CD is one to collect because it's Dafydd Iwan, and it's one of the best recordings of a distinguished career.

		When Dafydd Iwan was an architechture student in Cardiff during the early 1960s (he never actually worked as an architect) he felt that he had missed out on the excitement generated by the emergence of the Welsh Language Society in Aberystwyth.
		Being the son of a minister and moving from area to area, Dafydd claims he has never suffered from what he calls “the narrow parochialism that overwhelms so many Welsh people.” Yet, he supports to the hilt the campaign to protect “the Welsh way of life” in the rural heartland.
		It was the troubled year of the Investiture of Prince Charles — or ‘Carlo’ as Dafydd Iwan controversially referred to him in song.
