At 9:59am on September 18, 2009, William A. Parry said…: Huw - wow, really is a small world, I was talking to my Dad last night and mentioned your kind note, and we were amazed, of all the tiny villages in the world! I love it.... yeah, and the spelling is quite a doozey!, my non-Welsh and non-Celtic friends have raised an eyebrow at that name, too....

You know, I've only been to Penisarwaun once... it was the third Sunday in March, 2005 (just days after Wales sealed the Grand-Slam v. Ireland!), one of the best, but most emotional days in my life... when I took a picture of Dad in front of St. Helen's (where my forefathers undoubtedly worshipped), i could scarcely hold the camera still, trembling with tears and mixed emotions...it's hard even now.... i laughed driving on the road out of town (straight to a pub in Caernarfon, if i'm being honest), that I felt like 'Sean Thornton' having just arrived for the first time in 'Innisfree' (from 1952's 'Quiet Man' of course!).... i'll take my sons ('Evan' and 'Owen Glyndwr') there some day, when they're ready.

I've selfishly rambled on long enough, sorry.... it's just here in California, I doubt exactly regularly get to converse with a gentleman such as you, about such things as 'Penisarwuan'..... Thanks, Huw!...

anyway, how are you this fine day? how's all in the homeland?

take care,
diolch and hwyl,
William

At 3:22pm on September 17, 2009, William A. Parry said…: Huw - thanks for your note...actually, it was my grandfather Evan Ellis Parry, and his father (my great grandfather) of the same name who are from there.... but are long since gone. My Granddad emigrated to the USA on July 17, 1909 at the age of 17; some years later (once settled in America) he brought his parents over. He was an only child.... I have no known relative back there, but saw many headstone's at St. Helen's (?) bearing the 'Parry' name... maybe related? I don't know.... I'd be honored to hear any stories or names of friends you have/had there?

thanks,
William

ps - notice the tattoo in this pic bearing the "Parry" family crest...my wife HATES the tatt and this pic!

Thank you for making great dvd's I just purchased both of the new ones. I am co-chair of the Central Pennsylvania Welsh Society and will look forward to sharing these with my group. I also work at the Penn State University Libraries. I think they could use a copy. I will recommend it.
Ta,
Pembroke

At 7:16am on August 29, 2009, Mick Tems said…: Everybody knows Wilky - especially the late afternoon/ early evening crowd. Gruff, swears like a trooper (although he's cut that down of late), loves his Pitchfork He nods approvingly: "Pitchfork is a lovely beer - it makes you shit, same as all good beers." Wilky loved that little article I wrote on The Boar's Head, for CAMRA's Pints West, and he's been egging me on to write another one.

Yr ydw i hefyd yn aelod o Americymru ond yn byw yn Lloegr. Dydyn ni ddim wedi cwrdd, ond hoffwn i ddiolch i chi am eich gwaith mewn sawl un ffilm a drama yr ydw i wedi gweld ar S4C wrth ddysgu'r hen iaith dros y degau diweddaf. (Compassionata, Martha Jac A Sianco ac ati). Tro nesa fy mod i'n eich gweld chi ar faes y brifwyl mi wna i ddweud 'helo'. Gyda llaw, yr ydw i'n sicr bod'na ffilm dda neu ddrama i'w cael ei sgwennu am Gymry Cymraeg alltud, mae'na ddigonedd o gymeriadau difyr ymlith y rhai fy mod i'n nabod yn Nottingham a Derby.
Pob hwyl

At 4:29pm on August 9, 2009, Russell Sheppard said…: Fantasy on Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau hit me at the very core, the sound of those strings gave me goose bumps. You do manage to put some cracking tunes on here Huw.

At 10:58am on July 21, 2009, Neil Matthews said…: I have just viewed Wales Two heroes and Treasures produced by Huw once again he has captured the true beauty and soul of Wales and this time woven it with magical tales,an outstanding production which I would reccomend to all welsh men and women at home and abroad

O lle wyt ti'n dod yn Sir Gaerfyrddin?

At 11:05am on May 25, 2009, Russell Sheppard said…: What a voice, only a Welshman could have the passion to sing it like this, it gave me goosebumps.

At 2:41pm on May 18, 2009, Russell Sheppard said…: That's a wonderful song you have put on here Huw, I sat back and enjoyed the wonderul Celtic feel.

At 1:51pm on April 15, 2009, Suzie Morris said…: I'm new to blogs, so excuse the delay in a response. I live on the East coast of the US, midway between New York and Florida, in a small town called Wilmington, North Carolina.

Thank you for the welcome,

At 9:46am on September 6, 2008, Wild Canary said…: It surprises me every time, when I get all choked up hearing the language and the music of Wales. Thanks. I hope to learn Land of my Father's in the proper language.

At 6:36pm on July 22, 2008, Lidia Ziolkowski said…: Diolch yn fawr, Huw, for taking the time to let everyone know about Shan and her dear late husband, Justin!
She must be a fantastic singer--I haven't heard her sing yet and I'm a real big sucker when it comes to music--especially great music!
Your profile says that you are a freelance actor--then you must be familiar with Ioan Gruffudd--he and his lovely bride, Alice Evans, are living in Los Angeles now and I love his movies and i also saw his wife Alice in the Christmas Card and she did a fantastic job!
Anyway thanks again for inviting me to be your friend and of course i said yes!
Iechyd da!
Lidia
