“Ffarwel is a poem that comes from a book of local songs collected by Ieuan Wyn, a local bard and historian,” she explains.

“[These are] songs that have been written by local people of the centuries. It is about a quarry man leaving the quarry for the last time. Retiring? Or because of a strike? Who knows? But he is nostalgic and sad to leave.”
