Gettysburg

Today we arrived in the famous town of Gettysburg where a very important part of the American civil war took place. Had an interesting bus tour over the battle fields and our new friend mr. tourguide enlightened us on what is historic, original and owned by the government. Had a nice swim, sauna and jacuzzi back at the hotel then went out for a meal and quite a few drinks and games of pool. No more singing in pubs by order of Keith!

Cyngerdd gyntaf / First Concert 26/01

Ymarfer trwy'r pnawn mewn eglwys yn Hammond IN, ac wedyn y gyngerdd gynta yn y nos. Aeth y gyngerdd yn dda iawn, y lle yn llawn gyda dros mil o bobl.Roedd y gyngerdd mewn auditorium ysgol uwchradd, ond mae'r adnoddau tipyn yn wahannol i beth sy da no gytre. Mae'r Auditorium yn yr ygolion draw fan hyn cystal ag unrhyw theatre ym Mhrydain.




Long practice in Hammond IN, followed by our first concert in the night. Concert went really well. The place was full with over 1000 people in the audience.The Concert was in a school auditorium - but the auditoriums over here are as big, and as well equipped as the best theatres in the UK,

Arriving in Chicago Cyrraedd / Cyrraedd Chicago


Arrived in Chicago yesterday. Freezing and and a lot of snow.

We're staying about and hour south of Chigago in a place called Hammond. As usual, the hotel is far from any town on the side of a freeway.



Couldnt sleep easily last night so had to go out for a few pints... Today we have a full practice at 2pm and then a big concert tonight in Munster. The Chicago "Taffia" Welsh Society are meeting us after the concert and supposed to be taking us to a brewery.

South Carolina Primary today. Hopefully Barack will will.
