Crysbas - Ond... Mae Di Bwrw EP (1979)

A1 - Mae 'Di Bwrw
A2 - Blws Ty Golchi
B1 - Mor Gryg Y 'Wr Morgrug
B2 - Amser

As promised here's the 2nd 45 from Crysbas

There is a line up change from the 1st 45 in that guitarist Gwyndaf Williams seems to have been replaced by
Dafydd Les Roberts (organ synth piano)

The band seemed to fizzle out in 1980 with Bryn Fon doing a bit (actually quite a lot!) of acting & reappearing as vocalist for Sobin a`r Smaeliaid in the late 80's (More info here)
Also go here for a story about how a seemingly bad event can turn to your advantage!

Also go here to see a live 2001 version of Draenog Marw by Bryn Fon a`r Band

Crysbas - Draenog Marw (1978)

b/w -Y Nhw (Wil Bach)

Here's another Welsh sung 45 (1st release of 2) for you. The band were from North Wales Llanberis or Llanrwst (Depending on who's info you read)

and were

Bryn Fon (voc)
Ithel Jones (guitar)
Gwyndaf (John) Williams (guitar)
Alwyn (Phillip) Jones (bass)
Gwynfor Roberts (drums)

With extra vocals from Velvor Lewis & Gaenor Roberts on Y Nhw

All band members have their pubrock beginnings in either Y-Mellt (1967-76) or Mwg Drwg (1973-76) except Bryn Fon who joins the others in 1975 when Crysbas is formed.

Apparently this track (Dead Hedgehog in English) has the accolade of being the 1st song to be played live (Dei Tomos Hall Penrhyn, Bangor) on the BBC's new Welsh language radio service in 1977.
