Rhymney is known to many outside of Wales due to folk singer Pete Seeger's song " The Bells of Rhymney ".
The lyrics to the song are drawn from a poem by Idris Davies who was born in Rhymney in 1905.
The poem was first published in Davies ' 1938 anthology Gwalia Deserta.
The poem was inspired by the failure of the 1926 General Strike and by the Marine Colliery disaster of 1 March 1927.
In addition to Rhymney, the poem also refers to the bells of Merthyr, Rhondda, Blaina, Caerphilly, Neath, Brecon, Swansea, Newport, Cardiff and the Wye Valley.
