 LorraineLorraine King says:- The songs featured are from here are from the album "Songs From The Celtic Land of Wales"
This album would not have happened if it were not for the encouragement of John Wake. His prompting enabled me to leap over the wall. Also I have to thank Colin Evans for his arrangement of the "Goose Maiden", and for his love and support. Peter King for his musical sensitivity which always produces a special moment for any song he performs on.; Alun Gibbard for his powerful lyrics based on Dylan Thomas. Three of these songs belong to a musical play called "Dylan" for which he wrote these lyrics which mused on the inner thought of a man of many wonderful words.
I would like to thank Sean and Jayne Stillman for their love and support in every twist and turn of my life. Sheila Willacombe for being my encourager and a true good friend, and all my family and friends.
"Dedicated to my Mam and Dad who gave me the precious gift of music, laughter and life. They are now with the Lord, and in his company we shall meet again one day." Dedicated also to Lily.
