A dusty old eight-track tape found after the sale of a former recording studio is believed to have a recording of JIMI HENDRIX playing the Welsh national anthem.
The guitar legend, who made a fine art out of coaxing national anthems from his heavily distorted electric guitar, is now thought to have given his famous treatment to Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.

Martin Davies, who runs the Red Dragonhood firm, wants to trace a former musician he believes knew Hendrix, and on whose demo tape the recording was found.
