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.
Hi Dan, just wanted to say, managed to get last minute tickets for last night with Billy Bragg, great show, you sounded fantastic, harmonies with BJ, Eirwyn's bass really added something too. The whole crowd were really with you, and why wouldn't they be! Can't be there tonight I'm afraid, as we're rehearsing, but have a good one, and see you soon.
Hi there,
Just wanted to let you know that there's a new song up from my upcoming album called 'I'ts Getting Harder', and i was just hoping that you could find the time to come and have a listen and maybe let me know what you think. Thank you. Math Bolton.
