Welcome to www.folkwales.org.uk, the home of Celfyddydau Mari Arts and the Mick Tems website - it's also the home of LLANTRISANT FOLK CLUB, the great little twmpath/ceilidh band DR PRICE'S FIRE BAND, the LLANTRISANT MARI LWYD, the SOUTH WALES ARCHIVE and the diary page that is vital to all those planning a folk/roots night out in Wales and the Borders, the LISTINGS PAGES. We hope you will enjoy a tour around - wherever you may be!
The Celfyddydau Mari Arts 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.
