http://www.greenmtn.edu/learning/welsh.asp

Extractions: Green Mountain College is located in the Vermont-New York Slate Valley, a region rich in Welsh heritage. Many Welsh immigrants, attracted by the area's slate industry, settled in this valley to produce one of the strongest Welsh-American communities in the country. The Green Mountain College Welsh Heritage Program seeks to maintain and cultivate that cultural legacy and to foster an interest in Wales and Welsh culture among our students and faculty. Our outreach to students is a particularly important part of the program, as we feel that the interest and commitment of young people in Welsh culture is essential for the continued vitality of the Welsh-American community. In the 1970s, Green Mountain College received a federal grant to promote the revival of the area's Welsh cultural heritage through projects involving the surrounding community and local schools. The foundation of the college library's Welsh Collection and the holding of a Welsh language course that led to the formation of Cymdeithas Madog were among the results. Strengthening its commitment and expanding its activities, Green Mountain established an ongoing Welsh Heritage Program to preserve and celebrate Welsh and Welsh-American culture in 1995.

http://www.lamp.ac.uk/oz/hughes/welshcul.html

Extractions: The Welsh experience in Australia tends to confirm the view that the Welsh language is a salient feature of Welsh ethnicity. A high proportion of nineteenth century Welsh immigrants spoke Welsh as their first language, including some who spoke only Welsh. As late as 1886, when the Brisbane Cambrian Society successfully requested that the Queensland agent-general in London appoint a Welsh-speaking lecturer, more than half of the Welsh population still spoke Welsh. Immigrants from Wales brought to Australia a popular culture that was expressed through the Welsh language and was rooted in Nonconformism. In this sense, language and religion were inextricably bound together. In Australia as in Wales, the leaders and patrons of the Welsh communities were also drawn largely from the ranks of chapel ministers or deacons. They were the ones who organised the Cymanfaoedd Canu, the great hymn-singing festivals that are so closely linked with the idea of Wales. In the 1860s and 1870s, the heyday of Welsh settlement in Victoria, it was not unusual for a Cymanfa Canu in Ballarat to last for several days and to draw crowds of 800 or more. These grand assemblies and many other lesser occasions were invariably organised by the churches. Bewildering in their variety, these occasions are recorded in meticulous detail in the Australydd and other Welsh journals ofthe day- Cyfarfod Te (Tea Meeting), Gobeithlu (Band of Hope), Seiat (Fellowhip Meeting), Cyfarfod Pregethu (Preaching Assembly) and Cymdeithas Lenyddol (Literary Society). To these weekday obligations must be added the rigours of the Nonconformist Welsh Sunday-the prayer meeting for the young in the morning, the morning sermon to follow, Sunday School in the afternoon, the singing meeting at 5 pm and the evening sermon to conclude the day. They were attended in the main by men exhausted from long hours of labour on the diggings or down in the mines.

http://www.lamp.ac.uk/oz/hughes/welshart.html

Extractions: by A. Ffestin Hughes (An abridged version of his article in The Australian People: An Encyclopedia of the Nation, Its People and Their Origins , edited by James Jupp, Angus and Robertson, Sydney, 1988. A second edition is due to be published in 2001) The Welsh have been involved in the development of Australia from the earliest days of European settlement. Their impact has been notable in a number of key areas of Australian life especially in the mining industrybut has always been limited by their relatively small numbers. It has also been obscured by the long-held but misleading view that, with the exception of the Irish, all British people who have settled in Australia have been culturally homogeneous. Although overwhelmingly Protestant and, since the sixteenth century, politically and economically integrated with England, the Welsh have brought to Australia a distinctive cultural identity. The forms of Welsh cultural and social life that were brought to Australia were crystallised in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Thus the Eisteddfod-now a familiar cultural institution in most Australian States-is a product of the Welsh literary and antiquarian revival of the late eighteenth century. Subsequently, the annual National Eisteddfod of Wales and its many local counterparts have channelled much of the creative energies of the Welsh into musical and literary composition. At the same time, the growth of Methodism, allied to the older Dissent, was to turn Wales into a stronghold of Nonconformity. Nineteenth century and early twentieth century Welsh culture was essentially a chapel-centred culture, sustained by a puritan ethos and expressed in the Welsh language. In Australia, too, the Nonconformist chapel was to herald the Welsh presence and to sene as the focal point of the Welsh community.

The Eurostick range of Celtic window decals have re-created this wealth of motifs and fascinating images - from the early artifacts of Celtic civilization to a modern renaissance through the art of Courtney Davis, and from both their pagan and then Christian traditions such as the books of Kells and Lindisfarne. The range features depictions of crosses; knotwork, spiral and zoomorphic ornament which is the very essence of the potent power the Celtic image, and a celebration and tribute to Celtic history and tradition.

Extractions: Welsh culture is popularly associated with singing - particularly male voice choirs - and with harp music. However, there's a lot more to it than that! Welsh literature dates back to the 6th century, making Welsh Europe's oldest living language. Welsh is a Celtic language, closely related to Breton and more distantly related to Scottish and Irish Gaelic. It is still the mother-tongue of a large number of people, and is taught either as a first or second language in all schools in Wales. Courses in Welsh for adults are held all over the country; one special location for residential courses is the Nant Gwrtheyrn centre (details of this site are also available in Welsh ). A Web-based Welsh course is also available. Modern Welsh literature has been written in both English and Welsh in all the standard literary forms - poetry, drama, novels, short stories etc; one of the leading modern Welsh publishers is Y Lolfa, whose catalogue is now available on the Web. A useful site containing information about many aspects of the poetry of Wales in both Welsh and English is available on the Web.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/about/culturefaq.shtml

Extractions: Wales is a country with two languages: Welsh and English. Welsh is spoken by around 19% of the population. Most of the Welsh-speakers live in the north west of the country. There are several dialects of Welsh, most audibly north and south. The road signs are bilingual, giving both the Welsh and English versions of the text and placenames. The language continues to flourish within Wales thanks to Welsh-medium education, a lively media industry and the enthusiasm of people living in Wales. The rights of the language have also been helped by bilingual and language policies made law by the Government. Cool Cymru is the name given to the recent explosion of Welsh talent which has taken Wales into the international cultural scene. Coined in the late stages of the 1990s, the term was applied to the new and exciting talent making a name for itself internationally. Initially sparked by the emergence of bands like The Manic Street Preachers, Catatonia and the Stereophonics, it lead to the idea that Wales was an untapped vein of new and exciting talent. Other talents in other cultural fields soon emerged, such as film maker Justin Kerrigan and fashion designer Julien Macdonald. It was a reaction to the staid and dated old guard of Welsh culture, as well as an expression of the growing confidence in Wales. This confidence was engendered by the forming of the National Assembly and a growing sense of Welsh identity.

Shop online at Wales-Direct.com The Abergavenny eisteddfodau were extremely colourful. A special hall was erected in Abergavenny to stage them because they were so popular. They were promotional eisteddfodau: at Abergavenny, Welsh culture was very much on display. They even drew attention to the local woollen industry. When Gwenynen Gwent went on her travels to Europe, she took samples of Abergavenny flannel with her, to promote them in the great houses, and even the courts, of Europe. And she never missed a chance, of course, to convince people that the folk culture of Wales was very special. She kept harpists and had parties of dancers at Llanover Hall. And although the English language played a prominent part in those eisteddfodau too - well, how could it not? Because Lady Llanover mixed with the upper echelons of society, and managed to persuade them to give those generous prizes; you'd expect that the English language would play quite a prominent role. Then on the other hand, you had a wonderful old hero like Thomas Price, Carnhuanawc, a man who fought so strongly against the lies peddled in the Blue Books, for example. You had a man like this who was very faithful in his attachment to Welsh-language culture, and there's no doubt at all that the ten eisteddfodau held under the auspices of Cymreigyddion Y Fenni formed one of the most brilliant chapters in the Eisteddfod's history.

The society also participates in selected local and regional programs. Follow the Events link (below) for details. Wales is one of the best-kept secrets in the world. Surprisingly, relatively few people really know anything about the country or its people. Even many descendants of Welsh expatriates can not locate the country on a map. Wales is a land of song; its choirs and singers are known world-wide. Wales is a land of poetry which resonates through the land, the people, the language, and the cultural traditions. Historian Alan Conway observes, "It is impossible to assess the Welsh contribution to the United States, or to measure the value of the skills and the knowledge that they invested"
