Is there a snippet of the song in the audiobook?
A quick googling shows that the well-known folk song The Ash Grove is
Welsh, being called Llwyn Onn. According to Wikipedia "It tells of a
sailor's love for "Gwen of Llwyn". This sounds a bit of a stretch though
as it is well known as The Ash Grove.
Aha, this looks more like it... I also found mention of one called
Gwenno Fwyn (Gentle Gwen). Sadly the only videos on YouTube are all a
rockish rendition by a band called Erland and the Carnival. I did find
a midi file of the tune on a Welsh folk song website though.
Take all this with a pinch of slate dust: IANWAKNAFM -- I am not Welsh
and know nothing about folk music :-)

Hello everyone!
Pardon this post, but I'm getting frustrated and knowing Welsh
spelling and pronounciation, I decided to ask for help.
Is there a folksong called "Gwennadin" or similoar. It was mentioned
in the book "Tim Frazer gets the message" by Franics durbridge. I only
have an audiobook and no article about it seems to mention the piece.
It's a children's song or a folk song I believe. I thoght someone here
might know it or at least be able to spell it out for me.
Thank you and sorry once again.
Warm regards
Julien
