http://americymru.blogspot.com/
This is the blog of the AmeriCymru online community. AmeriCymru is a social network for the Welsh, Welsh ex-pats, persons of Welsh descent and Cymruphiles all over the world.
Most of the material on this blog has appeared on our sister site and it is reproduced here for two reasons. Firstly we recognize that some people would rather access our material without the necessity of joining or searching a large social network. We believe that individual posts on this blog are more readily searchable and browsable. Secondly this site acts as an archive and backup for the many interviews and reviews which have appeared on the social site.
AmeriCymru also supports and in some cases sponsors Welsh events in the USA.
