    Extractions: Welsh Culture and Language in Flintshire Welsh cultural life and traditions continue to flourish in the area, with Mold (‘Yr Wyddgrug’) being the centre of many activities designed to preserve the distinctive way of life that goes back centuries. Daniel Owen (1836-1895), the first and most prominent novelist in the Welsh Language, was a native of the town. He personifies much of what is still important in Flintshire today, and his ideals of caring local government, thriving commerce, and adherence to a high moral and religious code remain a strong influence on community life. A passion for music and singing is an essential element of Welsh life among all ages and classes. Highly professional formal concerts are regularly given by male voice choirs, and some drinkers still enjoy bursting into song at their local pubs. Renewed interest is also being shown in the learning of the Welsh language. Banned in schools during the last century, it is now part of the curriculum in Wales, and evening classes for welsh are well-attended.

85. Welsh Culture In Australia
    Of the cultural institutions brought by the Welsh to Australia, A legacy ofthe late eighteenth century Welsh cultural regeneration,  
    http://www.lamp.ac.uk/oz/hughes/welshcul.html
    
    Extractions: The Welsh experience in Australia tends to confirm the view that the Welsh language is a salient feature of Welsh ethnicity. A high proportion of nineteenth century Welsh immigrants spoke Welsh as their first language, including some who spoke only Welsh. As late as 1886, when the Brisbane Cambrian Society successfully requested that the Queensland agent-general in London appoint a Welsh-speaking lecturer, more than half of the Welsh population still spoke Welsh. Immigrants from Wales brought to Australia a popular culture that was expressed through the Welsh language and was rooted in Nonconformism. In this sense, language and religion were inextricably bound together. In Australia as in Wales, the leaders and patrons of the Welsh communities were also drawn largely from the ranks of chapel ministers or deacons. They were the ones who organised the Cymanfaoedd Canu, the great hymn-singing festivals that are so closely linked with the idea of Wales. In the 1860s and 1870s, the heyday of Welsh settlement in Victoria, it was not unusual for a Cymanfa Canu in Ballarat to last for several days and to draw crowds of 800 or more. These grand assemblies and many other lesser occasions were invariably organised by the churches. Bewildering in their variety, these occasions are recorded in meticulous detail in the Australydd and other Welsh journals ofthe day- Cyfarfod Te (Tea Meeting), Gobeithlu (Band of Hope), Seiat (Fellowhip Meeting), Cyfarfod Pregethu (Preaching Assembly) and Cymdeithas Lenyddol (Literary Society). To these weekday obligations must be added the rigours of the Nonconformist Welsh Sunday-the prayer meeting for the young in the morning, the morning sermon to follow, Sunday School in the afternoon, the singing meeting at 5 pm and the evening sermon to conclude the day. They were attended in the main by men exhausted from long hours of labour on the diggings or down in the mines.

    Extractions: Mimosa. They had a model Welsh state in mind, a society entirely Welsh in language, culture, and religion. The Argentine government welcomed settlers to the largely unexplored territory, but hunger and disease took an early toll: By 1867 only 90 settlers remained in what the Welsh called Y Wladfa, The Colony. They persevered and eventually thrived, raising a surplus of wheat and building a strong community. By 1914, when a series of migrations came to an end, about 3,000 Welsh people had come to Patagonia. Today their descendants number about 25,000. Argentina imposed governmental control early on, and Spanish gradually replaced Welsh as the main language, but many continue to nurture their traditions. Since the early 1990s, when retired teachers began giving Welsh lessons, the language has staged a comeback, becoming fashionable even among the non-Welsh.

88. CHN Conference 2001: Mining; Communities And Culture
    Lesley Walker recounted how aspects of welsh culture were taken to Newcastlein New South Wales but also how welsh culture changed in the process.  
    http://www.marjon.ac.uk/cornish-history/conf2001.html
    
    Extractions: Roger Burt, School of Historical, Political and Sociological Studies, University of Exeter The central theme of this conference was the links between mining communities, culture change and migration. Moreover, several of the speakers introduced a note of revisionism into the history of mining communities, both in Cornwall and elsewhere. For example, Roger Burt's While the above speakers all dealt with elements of emigration, the other four contributors focused on communities within the British Isles. John Benson also brought a radical note of revisionism to the conference by arguing in his paper that employer-run pit clubs in the coal mining districts were not necessarily the exploitative con-trick that labour historians have tended to assume. Instead, they provided real welfare benefits for miners and their families. Returning to Cornwall, John Rule provided an amusing survey of feast days and revelry in industrial Cornwall. If the pub and feast days was one aspect of life in industrial Cornwall so was the chapel.

    http://www.dirtynelson.com/linen/97/wales.html
    
    Extractions: In the great folk music boom of the late 80s and 90s, when all things "Celtic" led to a rise in popularity (and sales) in music from Ireland, Scotland, and, to a lesser extent, England, one area that was largely overlooked was Wales. Welsh music has a strong cultural identity that reflects both English and Celtic influences. But it was that attempt at defining and enlarging Welsh culture that led to a good deal of its obscurity. This Welsh nationalism, which over the last 30 years has been trying to resurrect both the language and culture that have fallen into disuse, is very inward-looking. Cultural pride meant that you sang in Welsh, wrote liner notes in Welsh, kept your music close to home, and rejected all things English. While this attitude has helped to solidify the culture, it also, with rare exceptions, insulated it from the larger mainstream musical market. Thankfully, it's beginning to change, and the best indication of that is found in the latest recording by Welsh nationalist

99. National Costume Of Wales
    History and description of the traditional welsh costume.  
    http://www.wales-calling.com/culture/costume.htm
    
    Extractions: Welsh National costume evolved in Wales in the late 18th century as a development of costume worn in town and country. The popular image of Welsh "national" dress, of a woman in a red cloak and tall black hat, is one which has developed as a result of various influences which arose in the nineteenth century. Lady Llanover, the wife of an ironmaster in Gwent, was very influential in encouraging the wearing of "national dress", both in her own home and at eisteddfodau. She felt it was important to encourage the use of the Welsh language and the wearing of an identifiable Welsh costume. She succeeded in developing the Welsh "national dress" because people felt that their national identity was under threat and the wearing of a national costume was one way to declare that identity. The garments are made of Welsh flannel. The costume regarded as national dress is based on clothing worn by Welsh countrywomen during the early nineteenth century The tall "chimney" hat did not appear until the late 1840's and seems to be based on an amalgamation of men's top hats and a form of high hat worn during the 1790 - 1820 period in country areas.
