Gwenno have decided to fill that 'Folk/Indie song about cheese in Cornish' niche that existed.
Sure, everyone has cheese, but if you don't, bring what you have.
Gwenno has, not Gwenno have. That is that Gwenno is one person, singular. Stupid comment.
Ashley Martin alright mate, you sure told me...
I was wondering why that section of my record collection was empty! Loved her on Later With Jools.
She's a well known member of the hallouminati.
I'm enthralled with Gwenno. Maybe because I'm also from an old traditional culture (yeah,I know technically we all are...but my people are Indigenous American) and I love synths. I'm just fascinated with Cornish and I am in love with the way she brings it into the contemporary. I'm really excited about a lot of European groups bringing in their traditional and regional cultural influences.
it's better in the flesh, trust me. she's a brilliantly charismatic woman.
Like the indigenous Americans, the indigenous Brythonic people of Britain (the Welsh and Cornish of today) in the ancient times worshipped nature and the planetary movements, all their pagan gods represented every aspect of nature. So Sarah, we have something in common.
i see a lot of similarities between the natives of north america and the celts infact, except for a few hundred years of difference between their respective colonisation/subsequent cultural assimilation.
strongly nature based religion/spirituality, both had very similar culture across various tribes and nations despite lack of any true empire, both fucked over by the anglo-saxons, etc
@@samhaine6804there is also the mandan Indian tribe connected to the welsh settlers when Magog traveled to America
Me : "Oh what a perfect song for my druid group, such magical imagery, great song, and I don't have anything in Cornish yet,. Wait a minute, cheese?!"
A song about cheese still makes more sense that just about every other song out there at the minute.
True dat!
Mae Cymru'n falch bod ti'n greu Cerddoriaeth Cernyweg. Gwneud Cernyweg'n wych eto!
(in English) Wales is proud you're making Cornish music. Make cornish great again!

Yet another discovery made thru BBC 6 Music. Just goes to show you don't have to understand the language being sung when the song is brilliant. Gwenno is a cool name too.
Me too...took me ages to find the title.. diolch yn fawr BBC6
Yes, Radio 6 is great, but I first heard her on Radio Cymru, there is some great Welsh/Cornish music out there at the moment.
6 music has introduced me to so much. I do like this very mystical
we need another cornish album! le kov is so beautiful
Love these minimal & repetive sounds...
Like a mixture between Peter Gabriel's "San Jacinto", Siouxsie and Steve Reich...

What a stupid description........
Was brought to this song by Shazaming a song being played in the pub in the film 'BAIT' Great song & Film
Same for me! Would never have guessed it was about cheese though.
same for me ! i hate emmets too, bloody incomers
A truly beautiful treat for the senses to witness this band live, I'm so glad their music found it's way into my earholes.
They were the highlight of All Points East for me. I loved them.
An amazing band, was lovely to meet Gwenno after the gig in Glasgow a few weeks ago, a person who has areal passion for her art.
@@johnbarnes6568; and her culture John.
Brilliant. Cornish is still alive.
Saw Gwenno supporting the Manics in Birmingham tonight, brilliant!
saw her supporting them in bath forum on the tour too, fucking brilliant!
This has just absolutely made my Monday.
Saw Gwenno at All Points East...absolutely brilliant. As others have said kind of Kate Bush bonkers but with an intensity like, say, Kristin Hersh. Great band and fair play to her for not only releasing a song about cheese but for generally profiling the Celtic fringes.
Great band!
true, but I think cheese is a metaphor, is it not?
The Cornish language is just lovely, for the first time in my life I hear it))) It is much more beautiful and more perfect than English, take care of it! With love from Mother Russia!
Кельты и славяне едины!
Her father is Cornish and her mother is Welsh. She also sings in the Welsh language which is also very beautiful. They are both Celtic Brythonic languages (the other one of this group is Breton, which is from Brittany in France
Go see Gwenno. Saw the band at Festival No.6. Great energy and sound. Well worthy of a night out.
I adore this.
Eus keus?
Course there is! Plenty of it ....
Helford White, Helford Blue, Yarg, Cornish Gouda, Celtic Gold, Miss Muffet, Boy Laity and fifty other varieties besides :)
Yum!
10/10 for originality. Love the recent music too.
Loving this!
Amazing to hear live
We offer what we have to offer. Love this!
first time watching this video! part of the video is shot right next to the cheesewring (Keuswask in cornish) the same location as Travis - why does it always rain on me
Amazing, thanks a bunch!
She is brilliant!!!!
Just....LOVE...LOVE...LOVE Fabulous
So cool! I love your work!
Fantastic!
caught these at Good Life. Was intrigued about the Cornish element. Had no idea i'd be singing along in Cornish about cheese that night, especially having objections to current diary practices lol. Buying the album though. Fantastic stuff.
You could leave tofu cheese, but then you might really be asking for it🤣
Just picked up the word 'Penzance'. That's where i live, that's all. Splan!
Marthys
just great
quite amazing!
This is a very well-imagined video.
especially for a song about asking for cheese
Gobeithio bydd y fersiwn anhygoel o hon, yn fyw o Aberteifi, yn cael ei phostio cyn bo hir!!!!
Sublime X
Splann!
Cool stuff.
EXCELLENT!
No way I played foolsball at nearly all of them.I love gwenno! Thanx4 ostin
Amazing. Thanks :)
Fab song
Ow Howethes Gwenno, Kerensa!
gwych a chawslyd !! Yn union sut dw i'n ei lico!
Cheese deserves this song.
My familiarity with Cymraeg meant that I thought this song was something to do with cheese, And I was right :)
Stephen Jones it’s certainly Gaelic however Cornish not Welsh. In Welsh Oes caws yno? Apparently.
And in Irish it's cáis, pronounced kawsh ..you can see the connection Great song .. great artist and I love hearing her sing in Cornish and Welsh
Caws in Welsh. Beautiful language, Irish, by the way.
@@stephenjones5366 Go raibh maith agat ( Diolch )😊
Dim problwm. Mae'n wir.
Gwenno was recommended by Gang Gang Dance and I love it
I might have to run down Cleeve Hill to this.
Nice cosplay!
DW I'N GARU GWENNO
The cheese stands alone!
Anthem of Cornish cheese-makers throughout the world!
Mae hwn yn wych! Dw i'n caru'r deunydd o live band a synths
Minnions. Meyn, meini. Lle mor arbennig.x
Oes heddwch? Heddwch! Oes caws? Caws! Eus keus? Keus!
Jamming.
traitor! celt lover!
All Induh-European, bruh.
No jamming, only cheesing.
Oes na caws? Dowch a'r caws. Os oes ddim caws, dowch a rhywbeth arall.
Take notes, Frau Antje!
What language is she singing in? Cornish or Welsh?
Cornish :) The chorus is taken from an old Cornish rhyme - 'Eus keus? Eus po nag eus? Mars eus keus, dro keus. Mar nyns eus keus dro pyth eus' (Is there cheese? Is there or isn’t there? If there is cheese, bring cheese. If there
isn’t cheese bring whatever there is).
So this song is about...cheese? OK this is a first.
but Breton, Cornish and Welsh was only one language before that's why it's very similar.
@@ffaganskouarneg5897 as scots gaelic and irish gaelic once were. insular celtic is split into two subgroups - goidelic (scots and irish gaelic) and brythonic (welsh, breton and cornish)
@@kevinknox7282 fuck's sake, thanks
Does anyone recognise where this was shot?
Hurler's stones on Bodmin moor.
Hard luck on the Mercury inconvenience, hope you win it anyway
To be the Sun.
Please somebody, some kind passing Cornish speaker perhaps, just assure me that the title of this song doesn't in fact mean "Is It Cheese?"
Okay, one week later I realise that is exactly what she meant. waybe she caught a Coldplay video or something.
I have been wondering the same....I thought Oasis lyrics were pointless shite. But "cheese"? Really? I wish i had a trusted friend to consult. Mainly because I really like the sound of this tune.
It is. I'm Irish and caught the Gwenno gig at Electric Picnic. She had us all singing the chorus and told us it means Is there cheese or is there not cheese, if there is cheese bring cheese, if there is not cheese, bring what there is 😀 I think she said it was an old saying from the 17th century I thought it was great,ba bunch of people in 21st century Ireland singing out these Cornish words to a fantastic electronic psych modern music background. Like a meeting and merging of different worlds . It was the highlight of my festival
Well Cheese is "Caws" in Welsh so i'm guessing it must be "Is it cheese?" Weird!
here you go - i caught her live explaining it. drive.google.com/file/d/1Ipkscq2kXnJqxXbBVJtiHi4acbyzyLUd/view
also, here's a PDF containing the rhyme: www.cornish-language.org/Images/Klew!/Klew!3corrected.pdf
Pam ydy hi'n moyn caws? :D
Dim ond os bod caws ar gael!
Dwi isho caws!
Mae'n gas gen i gaws :'(
Assuming those little wheels of cheese are actually cheese, what variety?
Davidstow.
EUS KEUS?!
I don't know if I should take this seriously, or with a large slice of cheese!
Eus Gary? 🌱
Keus - similar to Kaas?
Yes Jacques, but nothing to do with Netherlands or Flemish... Com Op Kaaskopfs!!! heh heh...
Also Caws in Welsh
"Queso" in Spanish, which sounds very similar to the Cornish Keus, for that matter. In many European languages there is a common root for this word, while French (and consequently Italian) took a very different path with "Fromage" (and "Formaggio") en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese#Etymology
What? My ne vynav kows Sowsnek!
Sawsnek… Actually for anyone interested in history, in Devon, especially the west of Devon, they spoke Cornish. In the Prayer Book Rebellion, the Devonians joined with the Cornish army against the introduction of James's English Prayer book in Cornwall. We lost, but the aftermath was the victorious English army came down into Cornwall and Devon and massacred over 1600 men, women and children who only knew the Cornish language. Also the Devonians joined up with An Gof and his Cornish army in the Tax Rebellion, where the English extorted a very high tax on the Cornish and South West of England to wage their war against Scotland, which the Cornish/Devonians thought wasn't their problem, unfortunately we lost there too at Blackheath near London. And it was the only time in history where an army on the move DIDN'T loot, rape or murder on their way to battle. Though we have our rivalry with them across the Tamar, you'll find the Devonians, genetically and historically, are the same but with more Englishness about them. Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and part of Dorset was, in ancient times, called Dumnonia, one people and tribe. Bloody Wessex!!!
Say cheese!
