Where and how can we hear our Cornish language? Can we listen to a few words on radio or on television? Could the people in England listen with us? They will have an opportunity in September. Gwenno has been short-listed for the Mercury Prize. That is a music prize for the best British or Irish album of the year. Usually the songs are in English. For the first time, this year, there is an album on the list without a single English song. Gwenno's songs are sung in Cornish (except for one in Welsh). She sings about motherhood, freedom, language and identity. Her music has good reviews in many newspapers - beautiful and strange (like Cornwall) - otherworldly - mysterious and magical - this album (Treasure) is a treasure. The Welsh song says "Wales is not for sale".
