Biography:
In ancient times, the most sacred wisdoms of the Celtic people of Britain were tenderly safeguarded in their epic poetry and songs. These meticulously memorized compositions would be performed in the famed halls of great Kings and Queens of the Cymru.
The origin of this most hallowed tradition stretches back many thousands of years, deep into the misty past where now only meagre and precious fragments of this sacred ritual custom now exist. The custodians charged with the fate of keeping these enshrined primeval records alive and well have been known by many names; the Druids, the Awenyddion, the Cyfarwydd, Dyn Hysbys or Swynwraig, but most famously today, the Bards. No matter their title, all of them had one purpose in common, the pursuit of a magical force of divine inspiration – the Awen.
The MWSOG collective assembled upon a mutual longing and love for the deep magic & ritual that lie at the heart of Welsh culture, ancient and modern. Having achieved success in the UK arts and music scene as individuals, MWSOG have come together with an aim to present the most exciting aspects of Welsh language, folklore and culture – inspired by the philosophy and visuals of the wild lands of Wales and the poetic nature of its voice and its people.
