I'r Brawd Hwdini

This tribute album to one of Wales’ most talented and prolific singer-songwriters, Meic Stevens, is the result of an original idea by Gorwel Roberts of Bob Delyn a’r Ebillion.

Once the idea got around, singers from all directions wanted to take part as Meic’s songs had inspired them to start their musical careers. The strange thing is that everyone came up with a different song – not once did we have a song duplicated, it was all as if some super-natural force was making the selection!

It is a great way for the musicians of Wales to say “thank you” to the genius from Solva in Pembrokeshire, and to prove at the same time that you can never improve on the original.

Yn ystod yr Eisteddfod Meifod 2003 rhyddhaodd CRAI albwm deyrnged i Meic Stevens. Mae’r albwm yn gasgliad o artistiaid yn perfformio rhai o ganeuon mwyaf poblogaidd y Brawd Hwdini.

Daeth syniad gwreiddiol y casgliad gan Gorwel Roberts (Bob Delyn a’r Ebillion) nôl ym mis Hydref 2000 ar ôl iddo weld Meic yn perfformio yn y Cwps yn Aberystwyth. Teimlodd fod angen i ni werthfawrogi pa mor ffodus ydyn ni i gael y fraint o glywed yr athrylith â’i ddawn gerddorol ar lwyfannau Cymru ag yntau’n tynnu am ei 60 amser hynny! Cytunwyd i fynd ati i recordio’r albwm – a thair blynedd yn ddiweddarach - dyma hi!
