Gad Mi Ddod Mewn

Ciwb's new album, 'Gad Mi Ddod Mewn', has been in the making for a whole year, with the band members, Elis Derby, Gethin Griffiths, Marged Gwenllian and Carwyn Williams, working again with a host of prominent artists from the Welsh music scene to bring songs from the Sain label archive alive once more. Ciwb's first album included artists such as Mared Williams, Rhys Gwynfor, Alys Williams, Osian Huw Williams, Iwan Fôn, Heledd Watkins, Joseff Owen, Lily Beau and Dafydd Owain. The new album yet again includes an impressive line-up. This time, Ifan Davies, Buddug, Magi, Ifan Pritchard, Hollie Singer, Lisa Jên, Griff Lynch, Elidyr Glyn and Eban Elwy will join the band on 10 new covers of songs from various genres and decades, originally recorded and released by artists such as Sidan, Steve Eaves, Y Cyrff, Llwybr Cyhoeddus, Mojo, Trwynau Coch, Angylion Stanli, Heather Jones and Edward H Dafis. With a wide range of musical styles, from pop and soft rock to psychedelia, every track is a surprise, with the main musical elements of the original song sitting side by side with new features and riffs. 

The album will be officially launched at Neuadd y Farchnad (Market Hall), Caernarfon, ond July 12th, as part of Gŵyl Arall Festival, when the band will give a special one-off spectacular performance with visual and theatric elements, together with the guest acts on the album. Ciwb will also perform at the National Eisteddfod, Wrexham, on Saturday, August 1st.
