Connie - That was at Pen Argyl in 1999. The dance group was Tan ha Dwr. We also had a group of local girls coached by Sian Frick whom I know as a Welsh dance group leader - Danswr a Tract Cymreig - and member of Royal Scottish Dance Society. The Pen Argyl girls did quite well. Pity we didn't keep the group together.

Tan ha Dowr are still dancing! Yes, we had a wonderful time at Pen Argyl, and made many wonderful friends there. I'm no longer involved, and neither are my daughters (Faith, who played fiddle in the band, and Erin who danced) but the group has kept on going and evolving. This is their website, http://www.an-daras.com/w_tanhadowr/Tan%20Ha%20Dowr%20Home%20Page.htm#WHO%20ARE%20TAN%20HA%20DOWR? and if you Google them you'll find various videos and other links to them, as well as to the vibrant Cornish music and dance scene. They produced a CD of Cornish dance tunes, called 'Loer' (which I recorded), and which can still sometimes be found for sale on the internet. But you can also listen to 4 of their traditional tunes on their website, where the dance moves are explained. Faith and I still play in a Cornish based ceilidh band, called the Ransome Crawlers, but I'm afraid we don't play many Cornish tunes (mainly Irish, Welsh, Scottish and Breton), and Faith made a CD about 10 years ago, which is packed with Cornish tunes. Her band was called 'Tezen Koynt' and the CD was called 'Piskie Led'. You can sometimes find this on the internet, or you can contact me 'off list' if you are interested, because I've still got some here! Enjoy!
