Lyrics used here are taken from the first four lines of a 6th Century Welsh poem that was found among the pages of one of Britain's oldest heroic poems, the Welsh Y Gododdin (dating from between the 7th to 11th Century). 

Pais Dinogad (Dinogad's Smock) has been described by Welsh band Ffynnon as "a forerunner to Bye Baby Bunting". 

You'll notice in the image that Gododdin was the name of a place, and that it wasn't in modern day Wales. People spoke Welsh in Cumbria until the 12th Century.

Dinogad's Smock (in Old Welsh)

Written in 1776 by the Reverend John Skinner during his visit to dine with Lady Montgomery at her house in Ellon, Aberdeenshire. 

In order to put a stop to a political discussion that began between the gentleman after dinner, Lady Montgomery requested a song and said how strange it was that no one had yet penned an appropriate set of lyrics to “that fine old Strathspey, the Reel of Tullochgorum”.

Tullochgorum (in Scots & Gaelic)

Wedding song celebrating the welcoming of a new daughter-in-law into the family. Sung in what I thought was the Carpathian dialect of the Romany language, but there seems to be some disagreement over whether 'Carpathian' is a valid term or just a word made up by academics for convenience. 

I learned the song from a version on YouTube by a band called Csókolom and the lyrics also appear in another song called Keren Chave, which is either a traditional song or written by Ando Drom, depending on who you ask.

While "Angloromani" has been referred to in The Guardian (newspaper) as one of the indigenous languages of the UK, there aren't many songs in the British variant of the Romany language, as it's a private language. 

From speaking to British Romanies about this, we thought that using a different dialect of the language would be a good compromise, just to point out that it exists and that there's a British variant that's considered to be indigenous to The British Isles.
