Still Singing 'Yma O Hyd': An Autobiography

By: Iwan, Dafydd

Former president of Plaid Cymru and veteran Welsh-language campaigner Dafydd Iwan is also one of the best-known and most respected figures in Welsh-language music. He rose to fame with his satirical protest songs in the 1960s and has been releasing records and performing ever since. In recent seasons his 1983 anthem 'Yma o Hyd' (Still Here) was embraced first by Wales football fans and then by the FAW and the Wales team itself, seeing Iwan's performances of the song at Wales matches both at home and at the World Cup Finals in Qatar hit news headlines, and taking the track to No.1 in the iTunes singles charts in both January 2020 and June 2022. This is Dafydd Iwan's first autobiography in English, aimed at a new audience of non-Welsh-speaking fans who want to know more about the man and his career.
