Geraint Davies began writing and performing songs in 1970. His first recordings were two EPs with his folky band GWENWYN before hitting his stride with HERGEST (www.glanceri.com ), four singer-songwriters who enjoyed great success throughout the 70s, releasing two EPs and four albums – GLANCERI, FFRINDIAU BORE OES, HIRDDYDD HAF and AMSER CAU. He was also part of the rock-opera NIA BEN AUR in 1974 (and again in 2004). After leading the short-lived Y NEWYDDION in 1981-2 (releasing one single), Geraint retreated to the role of sideman with the popular folk band MYNEDIAD AM DDIM (www.mynediadamddim.com )contributing guitar, vocals and the occasional song over the next twenty eight years (and counting). His songs have been recorded by a variety of Welsh-language artists including Heather Jones, Margaret Williams, Geraint Roberts, Angharad Brinn, rugby legend Ray Gravell and the children's favourites Jeifin Jenkins and Mr Urdd, and he has contributed vocals to recordings by Ail Symudiad, Gwenda Owen, Derec Brown, Delwyn Sion and, most significantly, Geraint Griffiths (www.geraintgriffiths.com ). It’s due to GG’s urging, cajoling and support that Geraint D has recently written and recorded a number of new songs, singing lead for the first time in twenty five years, using GG’s studio and his skills as producer, arranger and one-man band. A CD has just been released.
Mae Geraint Davies wedi bod yn cyfansoddi a pherfformio’i ganeuon er 1970. Wedi dwy record EP gyda’i grwp gwerinol Gwenwyn, sefydlodd e’i hunan fel aelod o’r grwp HERGEST (www.glanceri.com ), brofodd tipyn o lwyddiant trwy gydol y 70au gan gyhoeddi dwy EP a phedair record hir - GLANCERI, FFRINDIAU BORE OES, HIRDDYDD HAF ac AMSER CAU. Bu hefyd yn ran o’r opera roc NIA BEN AUR ym 1974 (ac eto yn 2004) Wedi cyfnod byr yn arwain ei grwp Y NEWYDDION ym 1981-2, camodd Geraint yn ol o flaen y llwyfan a chanolbwyntio’i egni am yr wyth mlynedd ar hugain nesa’ ar gyfrannu gitâr, llais ac ambell gan i’r grwp gwerin bytholwyrdd MYNEDIAD AM DDIM (www.mynediadamddim.com ). Dros y blynyddoedd, recordiwyd ei ganeuon gan amrywiaeth o artistiaid gan gynnwys Heather Jones, Margaret Williams, Geraint Roberts, Angharad Brinn, a’r trysorau cenedlaethol Ray Gravell, Jeifin Jenkins a Mr Urdd, a mae e hefyd wedi recordio gydag Ail Symudiad, Gwenda Owen, Derec Brown, Delwyn Sion ac, yn fwy arwyddocaol efallai, Geraint Griffiths (www.geraintgriffiths.com ). Diolch i anogaeth, cefnogaeth a bygythiadau GG mae Geraint D wedi cyfansoddi a recordio nifer o ganeuon newydd sbon, gan gymryd yr awenau lleisiol am y tro cyntaf ers dros chwarter canrif, gan ddefnyddio stiwdio a thalentau GG fel cynhyrchydd, trefnydd a band un-dyn. Mae CD newydd ei chyhoeddi.

Mae'n bleser dy groesawi i FyNghofod (!). Cawn edrych ymlaen at dreulio blynyddoedd hapusaf ein bywyd yn y rhithfyd hwn. Gyda llaw, mae'r llun gyda'r Marauder yn eicon o'r saithdegau ac yn dwyn atgofion melys iawn.
