A Recital of Traditional Welsh Tunes played on the Harp by Elsie Thomas (Telynores Tawe)
On the High Seas has come to mean a certain lawlessness and freedom. Black flags appear, complete with the device of skull and crossbones.
But there are also high seas where billows roll, and winds roar, and lightnings flash, and all the properties come into action. The programme has storms, mutinies and pirates, but like every good sea turn ends with the hornpipe.
