Here is the new single by Jono Davies featuring Glyn ‘PWD’ Hughes,  a rendition of Hogia’r Wyddfa’s classic song ‘ Safwn Yn Y Bwlch ‘.

This summer, Jono was approached by Glyn , an old school friend and also the nephew of the late Elwyn Jones of the group Hogia’r Wyddfa. Glyn’s request was a suggestion that they could perhaps record a revamped rendition of the song to support and celebrate the Welsh football teams’ World Cup campaign.

Jono said about the whole concept .. ” To be completely honest at first I wasn’t too sure it was something I would be able to pull off! But being one to never shrug off a challenge,  after a few sessions in the studio I began to hear something I could work with and from that moment onwards there was no stopping it really. “

” The anthemic qualities and powerful  lyrics were a clear focus point and to make it more relatable to the World Cup I altered a few lines without going overboard.  I Imagined it being sung and chanted by the fans during the World Cup. It was a very challenging yet a fulfilling experience all round. I’m happy Glyn thought of involving me in his idea. “

Glyn said about the experience. ” This was a whole new experience for me, but everything seemed to fall into place as time went on. I think it has turned out better than we ever imagined it would so I couldn’t ask for more really. “

The song is out now on Something Personal’s Record label and will be available for streaming and downloading on all well known platforms.

Dyma sengl newydd Jono Davies sy’n cynnwys Glyn ‘PWD’ Hughes, fersiwn o gân glasurol Hogia’r Wyddfa ‘Safwn Yn Y Bwlch’.

Yr haf hwn, ddoth Glyn , hen ffrind ysgol a hefyd nai i’r diweddar Elwyn Jones o’r grŵp Hogia’r Wyddfa at Jono gyda cais yn awgrym y gallent efallai recordio fersiwn wedi’i hailwampio o’r gân i gefnogi a dathlu ymgyrch Cwpan y Byd tim pêl-droed Cymru.

Dywedodd Jono am y cysyniad cyfan .. ” I fod yn gwbl onest ar y dechrau doeddwn i ddim yn rhy siwr ei fod yn rhywbeth y byddwn i’n gallu ei dynnu i ffwrdd! Ond gan fod yn un i beidio byth â thagu her, ar ôl ychydig o sesiynau yn y stiwdio mi dechreuais glywed rhywbeth y gallwn i weithio gydag ef ac o’r eiliad honno ymlaen nid oedd unrhyw atal mewn gwirionedd.”

” Roedd y rhinweddau anthemig a’r geiriau pwerus yn bwynt ffocws clir ac i’w wneud yn fwy cyfnewidiol i Gwpan y Byd fe newidiais ychydig o linellau heb fynd dros ben llestri. Dychmygais ei fod yn cael ei ganu a’i siantio gan y cefnogwyr yn ystod Cwpan y Byd. Roedd yn brofia hynod o dda a heriol ond boddhaus drwyddo draw. Rwy’n hapus bod Glyn wedi meddwl fy nghynnwys yn ei syniad.”

Dywedodd Glyn am y profiad. “Roedd hwn yn brofiad hollol newydd i mi, ond roedd popeth i’w weld yn disgyn i’w le wrth i amser fynd yn ei flaen. Rwy’n meddwl ei fod wedi troi allan yn well nag yr oeddem erioed wedi dychmygu y byddai felly ni allwn ofyn am fwy mewn gwirionedd.”

Bydd y gân yn cael ei rhyddhau ar label Something Personal Records a bydd ar gael i’w ffrydio a’i lawrlwytho ar bob platfform adnabyddus o ddydd Llun 14eg o Dachwedd.
