You may or may not have seen or heard of this. I thought with all the music freaks around here someone might know some more.

Welsh National Anthem - Jimi style (maybe).

"...
that a wild and emotional arrangement of the Welsh National anthem, Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau, played on a distorted electric guitar, had been tacked onto the end of the tape. ...
especially as it sounded just like Jimi Hendrix. ...
Chapman told Goddard about the tape and Goddard reckoned it was entirely possible that the recording was of Hendrix, since Williams had known Hendrix well. ...
It has proved impossible to shed any more light on the recording, which you can hear by using the controls above. Jimi is dead, of course ...

Doesn't appear to be a hoax but possibly a genuine find:

They are seeking someone
"We would know exactly who made the recording if we could find Viv Williams, formerly of Crickhowell, Powys. He must now be about 64 years old. If you know his whereabouts, please let us know."
who they think can confirm or deny the story.
