Melin Melyn

Melin Melyn are more than just a band. They’re world-builders; storytellers absorbing various elements of the increasingly strange times around us and using them to create fables that ruminate on grief, love, and hope.

Formed in 2019 by Gruff Glyn (lead vocals, guitar, saxophone) Will Barratt (lead guitar), Cai Dyfan (drums) and Garmon Rhys (bass, backing vocals and who also performs as The Mighty Observer) the band was Gruff’s first proper musical project. After a year or so performing as a foursome, the band were soon joined by Rhodri Brooks (pedal steel) and Dylan Morgan (keys), stalwarts of the Welsh music scene with their solo works AhGeeBe and DD Darillo, as well as their works with Novo Amor & Boy Azooga respectively, adding further gravitas and completing the sound that the band had been looking for.

Mae Melin Melyn yn fwy na dim ond band. Maen nhw'n adeiladwyr byd; yn adroddwyr straeon sy'n amsugno gwahanol elfennau o'r amseroedd rhyfedd o'n cwmpas ac yn eu defnyddio i greu chwedlau sy'n myfyrio ar alar, cariad a gobaith Wedi'i ffurfio yn 2019 gan Gruff Glyn (prif lais, gitâr, sacsoffon) Will Barratt (prif gitâr), Cai Dyfan (drymiau) a Garmon Rhys (bas, llais cefndir ac sydd hefyd yn perfformio fel The Mighty Observer) y band oedd prosiect cerddorol go iawn cyntaf Gruff. Ar ôl tua blwyddyn o berfformio fel pedwarawd, ymunodd Rhodri Brooks (pedal steel) a Dylan Morgan (allweddellau) â'r band, perfformwyr ffyddlon y sîn gerddoriaeth Gymreig gyda'u gweithiau unigol AhGeeBe a DD Darillo, yn ogystal â'u gweithiau gyda Novo Amor a Boy Azooga, gan ychwanegu mwy o bwys a chwblhau'r sain yr oedd y band wedi bod yn chwilio amdani.
