'Pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad' 🫶😍

Who gets goosebumps from our incredible anthem 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

#DidYouKnow, 'Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau' was composed 168 years ago this month by a father and son from Pontypridd, Evan and James James.

Originally called “Glan Rhondda”, as it was composed on the banks of this river by James - the lyrics were inspired by Evan's response to his brother's invitation to join him in America.
