Subject: Welsh Class/Dosbarth Cymraeg
Have you ever traveled to Wales?? Were you confused with all the bilingual signs with all those consonants?? Did you hear people speaking the 'old language' and wished you could understand just a little bit??? Do you plan to travel to the land of the bards...the land of song...the land of castles???
Well now is your chance to come and struggle with other learners as we explore basic Welsh. The Welsh Language Lover's Society meets weekly in the Heights on Sunday afternoons.
We are recruiting new students to study this fascinating language...one of the oldest in
So whether you want to learn because it's your heritage, or because you want to be a part of one of the most successful language revivals in the past 100yrs, or just because you're curious, please consider joining our group....for more information please email me at sterlingdafydd@gmail.com or phone me at 832-794-7274
In case you missed our 1916 Uprising show, I found the whole recording the album on YouTube (Click here). Our links for lyrics & other interesting stuff regarding this show can be found at Part 1 and Part 2.

Danny OFlaherty
Showtime 6 PM
This talented musician switches seamlessly from guitar to accordion to tin whistle to harmonica. His repertoire is extraordinary. Haunting ballads of loves lost and found, songs of the sea and glen, aching calls for tolerance and peace, jigs and reels; Gaelic favorites - traditional tunes interspersed with original hit recordings from his popular CDs - all this and a bewitching personality that has audiences young and old calling for more.

"If you still haven't caught up with this group yet then why not? They are magnificent live in concert, and [One Foot in the Ether] proves that they are just as excellent in the studio . . . I could carry on raving about every track on the album, but instead I will just highly recommend that you go out and buy this fantastic album.
Also make sure you try and get to see these guys in concert as soon as you can." —MAVERICK ". . . what makes these Heathens so refreshingly different is the overall musicianship and seamless blending of alt-rockers, folk tales, gutbucket blues and heartland anthems."—
"The Band of Heathens, an Austin-based group, played the best set I came across during my five nights in town (at SXSW 2009)."—THE
"One Foot in the Ether is sure to reinforce the band's place in the Austin music scene . . . ready-made for sitting on the back porch with a cold beer, a rock 'n' soul affair evocative of Little Feat, The Band and The Black Crowes."—AUSTIN-AMERICAN STATESMAN
One Foot in the Ether bears the musical influences of forbears like the Band and the Black Crowes while embodying timeless lyrical themes of salvation and sin. Bass player Seth Whitney and drummer John Chipman make for a sympathetic rhythm section, keeping the trio of equally matched talents upfront tied together seamlessly. —COUNTRY WEEKLY
