Celtic Mayhem performs the traditional whaling sea song “Rolling Down to Old Maui” during Pirate Weekend at the 2009 Florida Renaissance Festival at Quiet Waters Park in Deerfield Beach, Florida. With Ty Billings on guitar and lead vocals, Martyn Wylde on bass guitar, and Jack Stamates on fiddle. This is a classic capstan shanty that has been well done by many other groups and performers (including the late great Stan Rogers), but here it is given a makeover with unique riffs and unexpected changes of tempo.

You will get best HD performance by letting the streaming file complete download first before playing. Gale Huntington’s “Songs the Whaleman Sang” has a song “Rolling Down to Old Mohee” which was taken from the 1858 log of the ship Atkins Adams out of New Bedford. It appeared earlier in Joanna Colcord’s “Songs of American Sailormen” (1938), but Colcord could not find a tune for it. Huntington found a tune for the words in Frederick Harlow’s “Chanteying Aboard American Ships” (1962). The words of this version are somewhat different but are clearly related to the Huntington version. As with many shanties and folksongs, it is possible the words were sung to various tunes or they had an earlier common source. In the living tradition of folk music, the performance in this video is accompanied by a new and …

This was set up to commemorate the life of Thomas Jones alias Twm Sion Cati. He is a legendary figure in Welsh History and had a close association with Rhandirmwyn and the Upper Tywi Valley. He was born in Tregaron in about 1530 but legend has it that he hid in a location near to Ystradffin Farm, Rhandirmwyn which has become known as Twm Sion Catis cave. Much has been written about his exploits and it is hoped that this website will clarify the facts and the myths about him. In the latter years of his life he married Joan a widow who lived at Ystradffin Farm, Rhandirmwyn. He died 400 years ago in 1609 and it is therefore fitting that we have a celebration of his life at Ystradffin Farm, Rhandirmwyn.
