Re-issue of Y Cyrff’s ‘Yr Atgyfodi’

We are proud to announce the reissue on vinyl of the legendary EP from Y Cyrff – ‘Yr Atgyfodi’ – which will be released at the Eisteddfod Gendlaethol Sir Conwy 2019, exactly 30 years since the first issue was released at the Llanrwst Eisteddfod in 1989.

It’s at The Eisteddfod in 1989 that Y Cyrff were wandering around the site selling copies of the record on vinyl. It was completey natural to launch the original record in their birth town and 30 years later the songs still stand up in their own right and deserve to be celebrated again as the Eisteddfod returns to the area in 2019. Mark Roberts ( Y Cyrff, Catatonia, Y Ffyrc, Sherbert Antlers, Mr ) , the lead singer from the band says “In my opinion this record is the highlight of Y Cyrff’s output – five songs which manage to capture the raw energy of our live shows”.

There is no need for an introduction to the tracks, especially ‘Cymru, Lloegr a Llanrwst’. The remaining four tracks on the EP are equally as breathtaking – ‘Y Boddi’, ‘Cofia Fi’n Ddiolchgar’, ‘Cerdda Efo Fi Mewn Distawrwydd’ and ‘Weithiau/Anadlu’. Toni Schiavone says “The truth is that all the songs on the record capture the emotion and energy that Y Cyrff created at live shows, encapsulated by the last song on the record ‘Weithiau/Anadl’. This isn’t a straight forward collection of rock songs, but an expression of a deep emotional energy unique to the band”.

This EP continues to be relevant to this day, and to be given the opportunity to reissue and reintroduce it to the world on vinyl is a celebration of Y Cyrff’s priceless contribution to the Welsh language music scene and beyond.
