Sengl newydd/ new single "Fan Transit Coch" (Red Transit Van) - out on the 6th of October!!
[English below]
Mae gennym ni sengl newydd ddwy-ieithog ar y ffordd! Bydd y "Fan Transit Coch" yn cyrraedd ei gyrchfan ar y 6ed o Hydref (fedrwch chi ei wrando arno ar y wefan hon, yn ogystal â Bandcamp, Soundcloud a YouTube). Rydym wedi recordio dau fersiwn, un yn Gymraeg a Ffrangeg, ac un yn Saesneg, Gymraeg a Ffrangeg. Y fersiwn rydan ni am ryddhau yn gyntaf bydd y fersiwn Gymraeg a Ffrangeg.
Cafodd Fan Transit Coch ei eni yn Rhagfyr 2018 mewn fan transit coch ar y motorway yn Ffrainc; roedd fy mrawd a finnau'n teithio o Gent yng Ngwlad Belg i lawr i Porto, Portiwgal, gyda chriw o ffrindiau newydd ar gyfer ŵyl cerddoriaeth gwerin Folk Marathon Porto. Mae'r gân yn deud hanes un o'n gymdeithion ar y daith, actores o'r Iseldiroedd. Mi wnaeth hi ymuno'r daith munud olaf ar ôl gweld shoutout ar FB yn esbonio bo' ni'n chwilio am bobl i ymuno â ni yn y rental van. O'dd hi newydd dorri fyny efo rhywun, felly penderfynodd hi ddod gyda ni, pobl ddiarth, ar daith lawr i Bortiwgal i'r ŵyl Folk Marathon Porto. Cawsom ni amser bythgofiadwy fel grŵp, a dan ni dal yn ffrindiau hyd heddiw!
We have a new bilingual single on the way! Our song "Fan Transit Coch (Red Transit Van)" will reach its destination on the 6th of October (you'll be able to listen to it on this website + Bandcamp, Soundcloud and YouTube). We recorded two versions, one in Welsh & French, and another in English, Welsh and French. We will release the mostly-Welsh version first.
Red Transit Van was written during and after a spontaneous, now legendary road trip from Ghent (Belgium) to Porto (Portugal). In December 2018 Liam and Siôn travelled to the Folk Marathon New Year's festival with a small group of people. Most of the group had never met one another before. One girl had just broken up with her boyfriend, and heard about the trip through facebook, joining right at the last minute. She decided to jump into a van full of strangers and embrace the adventure, and this is what inspired the song. We became a very tight group of friends, and the crazy journey we had in that Red Transit Van was truly unforgettable.
