Ha! I'm the last person to comment on the speed of anyone else's progress. Take your time. I've been trying to clear the decks with my own recording, because in the near future my own recording is going to slow down a fair bit. So your timing is actually great! And I hasten to add it's just my own mic time, and listening isn't a problem!
If only Pwyll had listened to his wife... Section 4 is PL OK. Two notes for section 5:
2.51-2.55, bottom half of first paragraph p. 34, repetition
...and the least of them as high as the Crag the Crag of Gwern Abwy…
11.31-11.32, bottom p. 38, omission
...the destinies of the world. [Of that race] are the Clan of the Gadarn...

Part 5 is spot PL OK.
A couple of notes for part 6:
2.29-2.31, second half p. 46, repetition
...said Pwyll said Pwyll Pen Annwn.
10.48-10.51, last line p. 50
beyond the cloudless light [heard night] of noon.
23.04-23.07, last sentence p. 56, repetition
...between the between the Tywi and the Hwchwr.
Why does no one in this company listen when given good advice?

Parts 6 and 7 are PL OK. Yeah, it does get worse. It's a wonder that this lot got as far as they did!

This recording has peculiarities of its own at around 13:00 - 'querulousness'. You'll hear my best attempt out of around 10 that I recorded (try it if you don't believe me!). I may have another go after the PLing as I have discovered that it can be pronounced as 'queroo..', rather than 'queryu...', which makes it a bit easier.
I have recorded through to the end of the first book (Chapter 13), so the chapters will be coming through more quickly than usual over the next week or so.

O, but I believe you. Recording is such a humbling experience, and I never cease to be amazed at my ability to stumble over words I know, let alone new ones.
Notes for section 08:
8.05-8.07, p. 75, second line of song, repetition/aborted version
It's wild mirth rides
13.00, bottom half p. 77
querulousness (your note, not mine!)
20.00, first line p. 81, omission
...hearing [a faint,] far wonder of bird-music...
27.03, bottom half of p. 84
querulous (if you do opt to rerecord)
27.55-27.57, mid-paragraph of first paragraph p. 85
...and the ancient sapience of my mind...

(only if you're having another crack at queru...)
Thanks for the heads up about uploading. Upload what ya got when ya got it.

Thanks for the PL notes on Part 8 - I'll tackle them when I'm reunited with my mic next week.

Anne, If you are looking for a cover image for this one, there is a fine picture of the castle of Hefeydd Hen on p. 87. And a picture of the Bard on p. 103. These are the first full page illustrations in the book and I haven't come across any others since then.

Ah, separated from the mic! I'm away from my mic most of the week and I miss recording.
Section 09 is PL OK. You're right, this chapter was marvellous! What a find this book was.

Ufff, Pwyll is an idiot.
The reading for section 10 is okay, but it's in stereo.

Yep, I guessed! I hope Rhianon rides out and deals with it, but I don't think that's going to happen!
Section 11:
opening silence is a bit long by LV standards
22.07-22.10, top half p. 132, omission
[He] called Blodwen and took the bridle in his hand as he watched.
