Jason Lyon on Music 
Love the interplay, rhythmic and melodic, between you all. \Captivating melody with hints of Beethovenesque solidity and folksong. Wyt ti’n gymraeg ac wyt ti’n siarad Cymraeg?
Shwmea. I don’t speak Welsh beyond some basics, but I’ve visited the country (and Anglesey in particular) quite often. I’m glad you liked it and thank you for taking the time to say so.
The piece was deliberately inspired by the island and I had to use my general linguistic skills to translate the title, hoping I’d got it right. From my experience, Welsh speakers tend to appreciate it when people at least try…
The piano really…wails…arh.arh.
Diolch.
