Wales is more than just the castles on this blog. In early days, miners traditionally formed men's choirs that sang a capella - without instrumental background - and here is a fun site with some gentlemen on a mountaintop, singing with their camel - go to http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-5881488743383634189&hl=en-GB. If that does not bring it up, do a search for Welsh men's choirs, and look for the one with the camel.
See dozens of websites for choirs at www.cymruarywe.org/cayw/index/en/782/8. A choir that has been very successful in competitions is the Pontarddulais Male Choir - see pontarddulaismalechoir.com/choir_history. Competitions are known as eisteddfods. See the Haverfordwest site at bbc.co.uk/wales/southwest/sites/haverfordwest/pages/male_voice. Around Philadelphia are many Welsh place names - Narberth, Haverford.
