Towns, cities and regions, such as Neath have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune.
About Neath
Neath - Castell Nedd. Wales. In about AD 75 the Romans chose the site, on the River Neath (Nedd), for a fort, Nidum, to protect their road from Gloucester to Carmarthen at the lowest practicable crossing of the river. In the 12th century a castle was constructed there; the adjoining town was granted a charter by William FitzRobert, 2nd Earl of Gloucester, but in 1231 the castle was destroyed by the Welsh prince Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. The 12th-century Cistercian foundation, Neath Abbey, is also now a ruin.
