Re: WALES / CYMRU ♣ WV 81 ♣ LUCIE JONES & SETH LAKEMAN - THE BALLAD OF MIDSOMER COUNTY (SF1)

I'm shocked at some people's NF points to this song. Very nice sound, Eulaliya, wish you good luck with this entry in semifinal!

Re: WALES / CYMRU ♣ WV 81 ♣ LUCIE JONES & SETH LAKEMAN - THE BALLAD OF MIDSOMER COUNTY (SF1)

Oh, and there's something I forgot to add to (darn ye uni!).

I am pleased to present to you a haunting folk ballad sung by Cardiff songstress Lucie Jones accompanied by the lilting melodies of Devon folk musician Seth Lakeman. It's about the encounter between a young man named John Henry and the fair maiden from Midsomer County, which sadly culminates in murder for reason of frustration over her unrequited love for him. Remember Midsomer Murders? If you don't, then you're missing out the haunting mystery that looms behind the song.

Sit back and enjoy the Land of Song's return under my reign! xcheer

For next edition, our NF plans are suspended in light of our qualification. Instead we will internally select one of our personal fave gems in Welsh language, or yn Cymraeg. Hints and/or guesses will be revealed soon!

Re: WALES / CYMRU ♣ WV 82 ♣ A HAUNTING GEM YN CYMRAEG - GUESS WHO?

Time to resume the sneak-peek for our next entry!

It's also a haunting folkish Rainy-like entry, also sung by a female. Band hint is given in an earlier spoiler above.

The first one who guesses correctly will be given an opportunity to suggest one song for the next NF.

9Bach?xheat


I must confess I cheated though. I wrote "Welsh bands" into google and they were the very first thing to come up. I could have just counted the Bach's myselfxshifty

"Haunting folkish Rainy-like entry" sounds awesome! I can't wait to hear the songxheart

Yaaaaay! That's an amazing prizexheat Thank you.

I might get my thinking cap on and send you a bunch of songs if I may, and then just let you choose one for the NF. I don't want there being the danger of you possibly sending a song you don't even like. I do certainly have few Welsh icons up my sleeve though that I hope you'll enjoyxheart

Re: WALES / CYMRU ♣ WV 82 ♣ 9BACH - LLIWIAU (SF3) - CELEBRATING THE COLOURS OF THE WELSH LANGUAGE!

:wale: WV Wales presents :wale:

9BACH
"Lliwiau"



Note: Click this pic above for studio version!

Live Performance

Lliwiau means Colours. It's a song written about childbirth. All the colours you can see when you close your eyes and the instant love that you feel for this soul that comes out.

Tincian is 9Bach's second album. It's an atmospheric, emotional record that reflects their home environment of Gerlan, North Wales. As Lisa Jen explains, 'tincian can mean a lot of things, to move with a tinkling sound, to ring and make a clear sound. Depending on what area of Wales you are from, the meaning varies. It comes to life in dialogue when you use sentences like "I gave him such a talking to, he didn't know what had hit him...he was 'tincian'." It's almost like a cartoon image of someone's head being hit by a hammer'.

Re: WALES / CYMRU ♣ WV 83 ♣ EISTEDDFOD NF + LL TOMORROW 20 CET

...and back to the flop mode! 17th place and 43 points aren't that bad for a Welsh-language entry like "Lliwiau", just like Ghazalaw's "Lusa Lân" under [MENTION=8788]chontono[/MENTION]'s Indian era with 53 points at 13th place. Diolch yn fawr for all the points to 9Bach! The Welsh delegation loves y'all!! xlove

While waiting for Kai to send a suggestion (10th slot) for the NF, I'm happy to say that the 10-song Eisteddfod National Final will commence with the LL tomorrow at 20CET at Freedom Room. See ya there ffrindiau! xwave

Croeso ffrindiau! Welcome to the Welsh National Final based on the Eisteddfod, the annual festival of music, arts and talents! Here, ten songs from ten acts of all genres compete for a chance to represent the Land of Song in next edition's WV. Whose star will gloriously shine from Wales to the world? You decide with your votes! And without further ado, here are the deg caneuon (ten songs):




Note: The square banners are decorated with paintings by the talented Welsh artist Rhiannon Roberts. And the tenth song is suggested by [MENTION=9441]RainyWoods[/MENTION], many thanks to him! xlove
And next edition will be the last one under my solo reign, but I have to wait until WV85 before I move on somewhere in the comfortable side of Europe.


Copy-paste List:


Voting:
Send your votes in Traditional ESC-style (12-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1) to Eulaliya aka the Princess of Ravenclaw Tower, or whatever you wish to call me.
The deadline will be on August 28th at 20 CET.
Happy listening and have fun! xcheer

Re: WALES / CYMRU ♣ WV 83 ♣ EISTEDDFOD NF NOW UP

While waiting for more voters to come up, let me thank y'all for voting for 9Bach in semi. It may flop the way India sent Ghazalaw's enchanting Welsh entry (a bit disappointed but not surprised tbh) but "Lliwiau" with all its mystical form will live on to our hearts! xlove

And I have awesome news to tell ye! To cap off my Welsh reign, the Blackadder will be returning to his home ground to join us Welsh brethren in a spectacular astronomical event yet to come, no further details given for now. Our welcome ceremony will commence after the flopping/slaying of our NF winner in WV83 semis! Diolch yn fawr! xheya
