Definitely a quirky little song from Marty Wilde, released in America under the name Shannon for some odd reason. Marty was right up there with Cliff Richard, Billy Fury and other early British rockers. His teen idol days declined after he got married, though; the couple formed a trio with future Moody Blues member Justin Hayward. This record about an ancient Welsh town, while unsuccessful at home, did well elsewhere in Europe and Australia. Marty’s daughter is 80’s star Kim Wilde.
