	Robin's Page
		Robin reflects on some classic England Wales encounters down the years (Wales now lead 49-48 in all encounters) and was foaming at the mouth in anticipation of the Six Nations encounter in Cardiff on Saturday 5th February 2005.
		England were 1/80 favourites to beat Wales but a 3-1 try-count in their favour, coupled with the style with which they played, wwas a joy to see.
		He used to stand outside the Wales dressing-room dressed in dark, shadowy shades as if, were he to chance his arm with anything hinting of colour, the church elders might summon him to explain his flamboyance.

	The Robin Hood legend
		In the time of Richard the Lionheart a minor noble of Nottinghamshire, one Robin of Loxley, was outlawed for poaching deer.
		So Robin took to the greenwood of Sherwood Forest, making a living by stealing from rich travellers and distributing the loot among the poor of the area.
		One thing to note about the early legends is that Robin Hood was not an aristocrat, as he was later portrayed, but a simple yeoman driven to a life of crime by the harsh rule of the law of the rich.

	Robin Huw Bowen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Robin Huw Bowen comes from a Welsh-speaking family based in Anglesey in the North of Wales.
		Initially Robin was drawn to the harp through the music of the renowned Breton harpist Alan Stivell, who inspired him to learn about the harp music of his own heritage.
		Although Robin's repertoire closely reflects that of the Welsh harp in its heyday (mid-17th to the end of the 19th Century), his playing and interpretation of the music continue the unbroken tradition.

	Nancy Carlin Associates: Robin Huw Bowen
		At the Machynlleth Festival 2000 Robin was awarded the Glyndwr Award for "an outstanding contribution to the arts in Wales".
		Robin's style reminisces the carefree, Welsh gypsy harpists of the last century, who clung to the tradition of the triple harp even as the respectable London soiree crowd were trading theirs for fashionable new pedal harps.
		Robin is a stunningly good harpist...the notes trip off the strings with rhythmic precision and melodic empathy.

	Wales: History
		The strong hold of evangelical Protestantism on Wales was to make the establishment of the Church of England there the dominant question in Welsh politics in the later 19th cent.; one of the last acts of Parliament that applied to Wales alone was the disestablishment of the church in 1914.
		The mineral wealth of Wales was opened to exploitation, at first in the north, then in the rich coal fields of the south.
		The distress of rural Wales was dramatically evidenced in the Rebecca Riots of 1843, when poor farmers destroyed toll booths, and in the emigration of large numbers of Welshmen, many to the United States.

		Instead he claims the Robin Hood "myth" is reinvented when people feel they are being oppressed by their own version of the Sheriff of Nottingham.
		But whether he existed or not, Robin would never have worn tights as depicted by Errol Flyn in the 1938 film The Adventures of Robin Hood, said the professor.
		He said that image was based on the Victorian stage plays where Robin's part would have been played by a woman, and she would have worn tights to show off her legs.

		Sir Robin is chomping at the bit since London won the bid, not least because his own local authority is one of the five Olympic host boroughs in the East End of London, with Newham having the lion's share of events in its backyard.
		Sir Robin is clearly pressing government to add a local politician to the interim board, rather than wait for the fully fledged LOCOG in six month's time.
		Sir Robin is comfortable with the bill being paid directly by Londoners, equivalent to £20 being added to a band D property, from next April.
