Welcome
to FOLKWALES, home of Llantrisant Folk Club and a new internet magazine
which has gone on-line now! FOLKWALES ONLINE MAGAZINE
is a new
concept in media publishing; news, views, reviews, features, articles and
comment, focussing on Wales and the World. FOLKWALES ONLINE MAGAZINE
spotlights and reports on the movers and the shakers that makes the Welsh
folk scene such an exciting place to be... the inspiring musicians, folk
development organisations, the festivals, the folk communities, the
sessions, the researchers, the music businesses and the arts world. The
March 2012 FOLKWALES ONLINE MAGAZINE edition is out now - just click on
the icon, right above!
The Folkwales logo is the Mari Lwyd with Eddie Kelly, owner of a used records
emporium in Cardiff Market, which brought delight and amazement to
shoppers. A visit to Eddie's house was like discovering a Music Hall
museum, with Vesta Tilley, Harry Champion and Marie Lloyd 78 records
neatly stacked everywhere. Eddie loved singing Music Hall songs just as
much as he loved folk festivals, and he would always lead the Llantrisant
Mari Lwyd ceremony, clad in his top hat. Eddie died a while back, and we
felt that continuing the logo would be a lasting tribute. Our sympathies
and love go to Eddie's widow, Phyllis.
