Friday night is Welsh music night

[Rusty Nails]

And lets not forget Man, with Terry Williams on drums.

Seen these perform a few times at Glam Poly and Swansea Top Rank, way back.

Somebody has got the spelling wrong on this!

I remember this group forming in my home town of Merthyr Tydfil when I was in school in the 60s. They were then known as The Bystanders, eventually changing personnel and becoming Man. Their lead singer initially, before being ditched, was Lyn Mittell, now more well known as a cheesy comedian, Owen Money. Probably a better career choice than if he had stayed with the group.

Very pop music orientated as the Bystanders, but became much more serious about their music, hence the formation of Man.

cheesy comedian, Owen Money.

Oh dear, I hope nobody posts Owen Money singing.

I remember many years ago in Ynysangharad Park, (Pontypridd Park to those who don't know the area), there was a free concert, type of Music in the Park thing with some decent local bands playing.

Anyway about half way through Owen Money appears on stage, the park almost emptied in seconds.

Don't remind me of those nights. He was a regular in the Merthyr Labour Club.

Whats this got to with Wales you may ask, well for years I thought the lyrics were down at Dino's bar in Rhyl.

I liked them in the 70s.

You've insulted them by saying they're from Cardiff. They came from Swansea.

I'm not Welch but I love this song.

I'm not Welch either! Are you Englich?

Well Yorkshire first, then English, but only the Northern type.
