Being adopted by Wales has given me some huge breaks and I feel I owe something back. Singing in Welsh has resulted in me being taken all over the world and I really want to do something in return. I'm still grappling with trying to learn the language. Hopefully, I'll stand a better chance with my daughter going to a Welsh medium nursery school." http://www.amywadge.com/news_item.php?news=94 94 Monday 12th October sees the release of <a href="http://www.amywadgeholdme.com" target="_blank">'Hold Me'</a>, the sublimely sweet and simply beautiful single from Amy Wadge.
