Still Singing 'Yma o Hyd': An autobiography

by Dafydd Iwan

Dafydd Iwan is one of the biggest names in Welsh-language music and pro-Wales activism, and has been in the public eye since his protest songs of the 1960s. But the adoption of 'Yma o hyd' - his famous song , 40 years old this year - as the anthem of the Wales football team has rocketed him to a new level of stardom, and has seen the track hit No.1 twice.This is the story of the man behind the song.

"In spite of the challenges we face, we are still here. I think people can relate to that. We are still here, overcoming those challenges and fighting for a better future for Cymru, for the world and for peace." - Dafydd Iwan
