Born at Llangennith (Gower), 16 February 1862. He was a weaver, born of a long line of weavers, and was the last to wear ' Gower tweed '. In his early days, he often acted as 'bidder' at weddings. He remembered a considerable number of old Gower folk-songs, and also the traditional 'reels' and 'hornpipies' of that countryside, and with his help these were recorded by the Gower Society. He died 19 February 1950, at Penmaen in Gower.
