Most of my work is concerned with welsh culture in one way or another - whether it be work for welsh language theatre companies, welsh medium broadcasting, book publishing, magazine work or education. The photograph here was taken during one of the many protests organised by Cymdeithas yr Iaith [the Welsh language Society] as part of their campaign for legislation to ensure a fair deal in housing for rural wales. They have recently been targeting estate agents whom they beleve to be partly reponsible for the influx of non-welsh spesakers into rural wales I try to find some time to undertake personal projects that make some comment on the state of contemporary wales [but as any freelancer knows it's not always easy getting the balance right between commercial work which brings in the money, and the personal work which takes up a lot of time.] book covers editorial education erotica ... keith morris project

Scotland Y Nadolig (Christmas) As in many other European countries, Christmas and its attendant celebrations came to be the best-loved time of the year in Wales, and there are many traditions connected with it, some religious and some entirely secular. For example, this was the time of the year when a plough was brought into the house and placed under the dining table to mark the beginning of the Christmas season, when work was suspended on the farms. The plough share was ceremoniously wetted with beer to show that even if it wasn't being used for a short while, its services were not forgotten and should be rewarded. Much of the rest of the day was spent in feasting and merry making, but it was also a time for rough and tumble games of football, or squirrel and rabbit hunting. In many parts of Wales up until quite recently, it was the custom to get up very early on Christmas morning to attend the Church service known as

WELSH CULTURE
Culture
The Welsh have retained more of the culture of their Celtic forebears than have either the Scots or the English. A strong feeling of national solidarity exists in Wales, and a revival of Welsh nationalism has received political support; representatives of Plaid Cymru (the Welsh Nationalist Party) serve in the House of Commons in London.
Cultural Institutions
Art and Music
Wales has had few famous painters, but Richard Wilson and Augustus John are world-famous Welsh artists. Until recent years conditions and opportunities for musical composition, in the modern sense, were rare in Wales. The long and rich folk tradition, however, has been maintained throughout the rural districts especially, and since 1906 the Welsh Folk Song Society has done valuable work in collecting and publishing this material. Choral singing, stemming from the religious revival of the late 18th century, is an extremely popular and characteristic part of Welsh musical life. Traditional instruments, especially the harp, are still played. The Welsh National Opera Company and the Welsh Theatre Company are notable contemporary arts companies. Wales also has a number of notable orchestras and an important dance company, Diversions, based in Cardiff.

8. Wollongong Welsh Choir - Information
Formed in 1994 by Judith Overton to promote welsh culture in the Illawarra region, New South Wales, Australia.

to the Wollongong Welsh Choir The Wollongong Welsh Choir was formed in 1994 by Judith Overton to promote Welsh culture in the Illawarra region. The choir currently has forty male and female singers, one-third of whom are Welsh-born. The choir performs in both English and Welsh, but a knowledge of the Welsh language is not essential for joining the choir. People of all nationalities who enjoy choral singing are welcome to join. Under the leadership of its current Musical Director Michael Sweeney-Knapp the choir performs at a variety of functions and venues, including multicultural events and concerts, church gatherings, weddings, celtic fairs and markets, remembrance services, clubs and retirement homes.
In 2002,the choir was very busy. The choir were very pleased to be asked to participate in the ANZAC ceremony at HMAS Cresswell,it proved to be one of the most moving ceremonies in which the choir has participated. Later in the year, the choir won first place in the Open Choral Section at the Wollongong Eisteddfod.
In August the choir was honoured to be asked to participate in the 100 year Commemoration of the Mt. Kembla mine disaster. The choir sang at the ceremony when 96 candles were lit in remembrance of the lives lost. A few days later, in a lighter vein, the choir sang for family groups at the Mt. Kembla pub!

As soon as you arrive in Wales, you know you are in another country - a country with its own ancient Celtic language, which is the key to its culture. Welsh is the language of everyday living for many people in this area - in the house and school, in the office and shop, on the television, in papers and books. Hearing and seeing Welsh all around you with its unfamiliar letter combinations, marks out the land as different. A competition between bards held at the Owain Glyndwr tavern in Corwen in 1789 initiated the modern eisteddfod , which became truly national at Llangollen in 1858 when thousands attended from all over Wales. Every year, a National Eisteddfod (Welsh language cultural festival) is held, alternating between north and south Wales. This is not to be confused with the International Musical Eisteddfod held annually in Llangollen.

13. WELSH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE
Welsh language and culture welsh culture is popularly associated with singing particularly male voice choirs - and with harp music.
http://www.westwales.co.uk/lang.htm
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.
