Magwyd Dan Amor ym mhentref Penmachno, Dyffryn Conwy, ac maen dal i fyw yno hyd heddiw. Ymddengys bod cerddoriaeth yn rhedeg yn y teulu; enillodd ei Nain gadair Eisteddfod am ei chanu yn y tridegau. Yn gyn brif ganwr gydar grwp pop/roc Gabrielle 25, bydd gwrandawyr BBC Radio Cymru a Radio Wales yn gyfarwydd chaneuon chwerwfelys, melodig Dan fel Yr Aifft yn yr Haul a Cantores yr Haf. Mae hefyd wedi cael cryn dipyn o lwyddiant fel artist unigol, gydai ddeunydd yn cael ei chwarae yn Siapan, Ewrop ac America. Chwaraeodd John Peel ddwy oi ganeuon, a gwelwyd adolygiad positif oi EP diwethaf yn y cylchgrawn cenedlaethol Record Collector.
Dan Amor grew up in the village of Penmachno, in Dyffryn Conwy, where he now lives. It would seem music runs in the family; his grand-mother won an Eisteddfod chair for her singing during the thirties. Former lead singer with pop / rock four-piece Gabrielle 25, listeners to BBC Radio Cymru and Radio Wales will be familiar with Dans bittersweet, melodic songs such as 'Yr Aifft Yn Yr Haul' and 'Cantores Yr Haf'. He has has also enjoyed success as a solo artist, his material enjoying airplay in Japan, Europe and America. John Peel played two of his songs, national publication Record collector gave his last EP a positive review.

Hiya. I've got over 6 years of Q magazine that I'm no longer prepared to give houseroom to. Do you know anyone who might give them a good home? Love Hills! Kx
Hey, nice stuff. I like the George Harrison vibe on Hills but plenty of yourself there. Hope you enjoyed my stuff, looking forward to more, three songs aren't enough!
I went to Bocswn for work experience and met a band there who let me be their bassist. However, they kicked me out in december!! lol!
Anyways, I'm now in another band that works well together, we all have similar tastes. So hopefully we'll be doing a demo soon and you can have a listen if you can spare a couple minutes away from your showbiz life!! Haha!
Llongyfarchiadau ar Adlais - ma'r albym yn hyfryd. Harmonis stunning. Gwin, gwlith gwawr yn mynd a fi'n ol i Laurel Canyon yn yr haul. Pob bendith ar y daith.
Hi Dan how are you? were still on our mission for that 'session fawr stage' or 'maes b', like your new songs hope we meet up again soon take care Amz :-)
hey dan i completely didn't recognize you the other day! your hair looks way better now by the way haha. but yer how you doing anyway? i'm really liking hills by the way, ace song! joe x
yeah in the end we didn't play. apparently our drummer (who's father was helping with the sound this year) just assumed we'd be playing because of his dad, and never actually asked haha. so yeah.. unfortunatly we missed out this year. but yeah if you're playing in speakers again let me know and i'll come down mate. cheers, joe.
aaaah so sorry i missed your gig man! i promised i'd watch Denuo (good mates) who were supposed to be playing in the acoustic dome at 5.30 - so it worked quite well, but some guy with a steel guitar came on and denuo ended up playing at 6 on the main stage haha. sorry mate, really hope it went well!
