The term 'icon' or 'legend' tends to be banded about a little lightly these days, but without doubt, Dafydd Iwan is a genuine modern-day Welsh icon and legend.

From his early days campaigning and performing protest songs in the 60s and 70s to the present day, his memorable folk anthems have stood the test of time and he has been a consistently popular artist in the Welsh language scene throughout the decades. However, the astounding success of his performances in front of the Cymru football team and their supporters in 2022, 'Yma o Hyd' has propelled him to another level of popularity with both Welsh speakers and non-Welsh speakers and opened his music out to a new audience.

Dafydd has a stellar back-catalogue, stretching well beyond just Yma o Hyd - well worth watching live (with his band) in a rare theatre performance.
