Mynediad Am Ddim

Mynediad Am Ddim is a highly acclaimed Welsh folk-pop group formed in 1974. The name, which translates to "Free Admission," was cleverly chosen to confuse poster readers, reflecting the band's playful nature. Originally comprising six members, including Emyr Wyn, Robin Evans, and Mei Jones, the band gained popularity after their success at the 1974 Bangor Intercollegiate Eisteddfod. One of their key additions was Emyr Huws Jones, known for his songwriting skills and previous work with Y Tebot Piws. Over the years, the band has undergone lineup changes, but they have maintained a strong presence in Welsh music. Their discography includes albums like "WA Macspredar," "Mae'r Grwp Yn Talu," and "Torth o Fara," showcasing a blend of original and traditional music.

The band's career spans over 50 years, with a repertoire that includes both folk and pop elements. They have been influenced by Celtic music from Ireland and Brittany and have performed extensively in Wales and beyond. Their recent releases, such as "Hen Hen Bryd," continue to reflect their ability to blend humor and musical talent. Mynediad Am Ddim remains a beloved part of Welsh music culture, celebrated for their energetic performances and enduring contributions to the genre. Current members include Geraint Cynan, Geraint Davies, Graham Pritchard, Rhys Dyrfal Ifans, and Robin Evans, among others.
