SYMUD TRWY’R HAF Dathlu 40 mlynedd Cwmni Fflach | Celebrating 40 years of Fflach

 

EVENT TAKES PLACE AT CARDIGAN CASTLE 

Doors 6.00pm

 

JESS - CRYS - EINIR DAFYDD - CATSGAM

Fflach Records was started in West Wales in 1981, by brothers Richard and Wyn Jones, also members of Welsh language new wave/punk band Ail Symudiad. The evening is a celebration of 40 years of Fflach, as well as a tribute to the founders, who contributed so much to the Welsh music scene.

This special evening will include live music from Jess, Crys, Einir Dafydd and Catsgam.

Crys are a heavy rock band from Resolven, formed in 1976 by brothers Liam Forde and Scott Forde, plus Alun Morgan. Since their first single in 1980 on Click Records, Crys went on to release albums on the Sain and Fflach labels and are still rocking more than 40 years later.

Jess formed in 1988 and exploded on the Welsh music scene in the National Eisteddfod in Newport Gwent. On the Fflach label they released three albums and two singles and went on to win many prizes and toured extensively throughout Europe. Their style is a mixture of heavy rock and melodic pop with a lot of vocal melodies.

Formed in 1997, Catsgam are a band from South East Wales with their own distinctive style of guitar-based melodic rock built around Rhys Harries’s powerful songwriting and the instantly recognisable vocals of Catrin Brooks.  Four albums of original material were recorded on the “Fflach” label leading to the release of “Sgam” – the 21st-anniversary collection, in October 2018.

Wawffactor and Cân i Gymru (A Song for Wales) winner Einir Dafydd completes the lineup for this special evening at Cardigan Castle.
