Hogia’r Wyddfa

Hogia’r Wyddfa is a five piece band which have been at the forefront of Welsh language entertainment, and have performed at hundreds of venues across Wales and beyond, for over five decades.

After many EP recordings for DRYW, they recorded their first album with SAIN in 1974, which was the first of many. They were among the first SAIN artists to receive a Gold Disc for record sales, and their CDs are still very much in demand.

The original members were Arwel Jones, Myrddin Owen, Vivian Parry, Elwyn Jones and accompanist Richard Huw Morris and his playing style was a prominent part of their appeal.

Following the untimely death of Richard Huw Morris, replacing him was a major problem, but eventually the group was joined by one of Wales' best accompanists, Annette Bryn Parry
