He did well singing in front of an audience.

Is there anything that doesn't make you cry?

[anneasquith]

Well done that young lad .

[Butterbun]

Beautiful.

[Mamyalynne]

Moving.

[mikey4444]

Not much Wolfie....I have always worn my heart on my sleeve, and I always cry at funerals.

[Baldric]

Sorry, but who?

[wolf63]

I rarely cry - it's good for you.

I have only heard this sung by a choir before, it sounds full of unpronounceable words. He did really well.

[mikey4444]

Wolfie....beautiful words and firm favourite here in Wales......

[Baldric]

Ah, not English then.

[mikey4444]

Mamy...thanks for the link...perhaps I should have provided it, but I thought my links above were enough...apparently not.

[naomi24]

With all due respect to the deceased, but I've never heard of him either.

[Baldric]

Your links are usually biased Mikey so I don't normally bother with them

Sorry to hear Rhodri Morgan has died, mikey. He was a really good, down to earth politician. I never met him, but was at a couple of functions he spoke at, and you could tell here was someone with no airs or graces.

[mikey4444]

Thanks Itchy...yes you are right....a nice man.

[murraymints]

ahhhh...how sweet of the lad
