Title: Name That Tune
Post by: MTyrrell on December 08, 2005, 22:09:13

I'm trying to settle an argument, Dose anyone know the name of the tune used in the welsh beef advert that's on TV at the moment?
 The words are different but the tune is the same, it's also on medley played between the end of the world service and the start of Radio4. The avert is  Here  (http://www.hybucigcymru.org/uploads/MediaRoot/EN_654_welshbeef.mpg).

Cheers

No, the Welsh National Anthem is that tune that John Redwood made a total cretin of himself to a few years ago, by not knowing the words and trying to make out he did.  A great moment, that was.
