i found the first tune in the papers of llewelyn alaw and later heard jason lawday play it. the last two tunes i learned from martin leamon and sille ilves, both of ystalyfera. i believe the originals were found in the nicolas bennet collection. martin and sille were the first to teach me a huge collection of welsh dance tunes when i first moved to wales.
ffeindais yr alaw cyntaf yn y tudalenau llewelyn alaw a wedyn clywais jason lawday chwarae'r tiwn. dysgodd martin leamon a sille ilves (ystylafera) y llaill i fi. rwy'n credu bod nhw dod o'r casgliad nicolas bennet yn wreiddiol. roedd martin a sille y cyntaf i addysgu gasgliad enfawr o alawon dawns cymreig i fi pan symudais i Gymru.

Fernhill are the best representatives of Welsh folk music. Their new album Canu Rhydd artfully interweaves traditional Welsh music and poetry with modern esthetic, testing the boundaries of the genre. ceri 'gwal' owen-jones
This is a beautiful album - a culmination of a ten year long journey of an Estonian (and tundra sister) through Wales. Uplifting and moving... ceri 'gwal' owen-jones
