Hello fellow Zeppelin fans... I've been wondering how to pronounce this word ever since I heard "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" on Led Zeppelin III, which would've been around 1987 for me (age 14). The other day I was talking with a friend about the pronunciation and today I finally got around to Googling it. I ended up on the wikipedia page for "Bron-Yr-Aur" (I don't know why the spelling of the song is different from that of the cottage) and it had the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) for the Welsh pronunciation. Here's the link to that page if you want to check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_Welsh I chose to break it down letter by letter first. B=Normal English B sound; R=The R sound but with a trill; O=The O sound as in the word gone; N=Normal English N sound; Y=The (a) sound in the word about; R=The R sound but with a trill; AU=The I sound as in the word eye; and lastly another R=The R sound but with a trill. So, put a trill on the R's, make the O sound like the O in "gone", the Y is the schwa sound, and the last part is R-EYE-R but all one syllable (rire?) and with trills on the R's. That's just the academic, linguistic way of breaking it down. Actually pronouncing it correctly like someone who speaks proper Welsh would take some practice, I would think. I'm sure you all know this but "Bron-Yr-Aur" was the name of the remote cottage in Wales where Page and Plant spent some time writing music with no electricity or running water. No electricity means no electric guitars which explains the existence of the acoustic material on the third album like, Tangerine, That's The Way, Gallows Pole, and of course, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp. Here's a link to the wikipedia page on Led Zeppelin III. It explains why Page and Plant chose to rent a remote cottage as opposed to a hotel room or something like that. I really hope my post helps more than confuses. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_Zeppelin_III
