Adolygiadau

Lively, entertaining, and valuable – a real gem. - Huw Edwards

Much like the fervour and oration skill described within the pages of A Nation Of Singing Birds, this book builds to a graceful climax revelling in the history of this land of song. - Adam Jones, Buzz Magazine

...engaging and entertaining history... One of the most lingering images is that of the underground chapel, where coal-miners would gather to sing, raising their lamps at the end of a service deep in the earth, the sound of the voices in teh 'echoing chambers adding a touch of froideur to the occasion'. 'A Nation of Singing Birds' is chock full of such images and well-told stories about communities lifting up their collective voices to sing with all fervour, to fully express themselves. - Jon Gower, Nation.cymru

Welsh people are known for their love of song. Ronald Rees takes us on a fascinating journey to show how that passion has been shaped and moulded on two continents. - Rhidian Griffiths, The Local Historian
