Today renowned Welsh actress Sharon Morgan shares with us her favourite Welsh love song. Sharon is one of Walesâ most talented and prolific actors. With a diverse career which spans almost four decades Sharon is the winner of three BAFTA awards.
Sharonâs favourite Welsh Love song is âTra Bo Dauâ, sung here by Lowri Evans:
Sharon Morgan is a brilliant actress! I saw her first in âMartha, Jac a Siancoâ based on Caryl Lewisâs novel and only last week in the latest series of âYr Amgueddfaâ on S4C clic - and if sheâs in something then its definitely worth watching! Really like her choice of love song too, but my favourite version is this one by Plu Tra Bo Dau - Plu - YouTube
Aled Hughes is one of Walesâ best loved radio presenters and his lively and informative morning show on Radio Cymru is a favourite among the SSiW community. As well as radio, Aled has appeared as a presenter on S4C and in 2021 his first novel âHelaâ was published.
Aledâs choice of love song to celebrate Santes Dwynwen is MĂ´r o Gariad by Meic Stevens and here is what he has to say about it: âNo, itâs not a love song as such, but a song about heartbreak. My argument is that it is a love song because without the love he wouldnât have been able to write about the heartbreak. Even though it is a song about the end of a relationship, it conveys that incredible grip that love has.â
