Plethyn - Welsh folk group

[sonata58]

Have any of you ever heard of a Welsh folk group called Plethyn? I came across this sound clip while browsing the Encarta Encyclopedia: encarta.msn.com/media_461524701/Traditional_Music_of_Wales.html

I loved the song the moment I heard it. This group creates a nice folk sound and the harmony is great. I found these other tracks on Amazon: www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_dmusic?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-music&field-keywords=plethyn

The songs are lovely. I'm trying to find more about them.

Hi Sonata,

The short answer is no, I have never heard of Plethyn. A quick internet search suggests that they were formed in the 1970s (when I tended to follow the British folk scene so I am slightly surprised that I didn't know their name). I guess they may not be together now. Pity, they sound rather good.

Brief information about them can be found at Rambles.net.
