name that band

[Cefin gwlad]

Laurel and Hardy

Phew -- that was a hard one (the answer finally came to me in a dream last night..!). You've either got a very big dictionary, Mynwy, or you must work in a Welsh-speaking garden centre

So here's something bach yn haws, gobeithio:

Maesyffynon Llychlyd

[Sionned]

That would be Dusty Springfield, I think. (Not really a band but a singer, but close enough.)


How about:

Crwydryn Uwch

[Cefin gwlad]

Not really a band but a singer

Despite the thread's name, the original rules do say "Think of a pop group or singer" -- on which grounds
Band y Gardiau Nantoer would be ruled out!

I guess that Crwydryn Uwch must be Supertramp.

Gorffennaf Eglwysi

[Sionned]

Despite the thread's name, the original rules do say "Think of a pop group or singer" -- on which grounds Band y Gardiau Nantoer would be ruled out!

Right you are; hadn't remembered that detail. Sorry! We have ranged fairly far and wide on this thread.

You are also correct that Crwydryn Uwch is Supertramp. I'll have to keep working on yours...

Sionned

[Cefin gwlad]

Cliw: chafodd ei eni ym Madrid.

[Cefin gwlad]

Julio Iglesias

Gwefusau ceffyl

[Sionned]

Horse Lips?!

[Cefin gwlad]

Yes! Well, Horslips.

Your turn.

[Sionned]

Huh. I've never heard of them, but I like that clip. I'll have to investigate further.

Ok, here's one I don't think we've had yet:

Cyflegrau a Rhosynau

[Cefin gwlad]

Guns N' Roses I presume -- although the lack of a leading apostrophe in the middle word always annoys the pedant in me.

How about Y Gwrthdaro?

[Sionned]

That would be correct.


How about Dân Duraidd

[Cefin gwlad]

That must be the charm -- dân -- of Steely Dan.

And -- je le répète! -- beth am Y Gwrthdaro?

[Sionned]

Sorry, I knew I was missing something but the headache wasn't letting me see what!!!

Y Gwrthdaro would be The Clash


And your turn.

[Cefin gwlad]

Dim probs, S. In deference to your pen tost (though that's long gone by now, gobeithio), here's another easy one:

Y Cinciau

[Sionned]

That has to be The Kinks.


Now, I was afraid this next one might be too obscure, but through Google I found at least three bands with this name, in different places (of course), so I'm going to use it.

Y Cŵncariad
