This version of Tân y Ddraig (Dragon‘s Fire) features an ‘Englyn’ written by Bardd Aron Pritchard. An Englyn is a traditional Welsh short-form poem, found in the work of the earliest attested Welsh poets, the Cynfeirdd. Engynion often reflect on heroic tradition, as does this one by Bardd Aron.
The video of our song was shown at the Senedd on 11 July 2024, during the royal visit and Bardd Aron performed the poem before the King and Queen in The Siambr – the the large, circular debating chamber which lies at the heart of the Senedd.
