Datblygu

Datblygu (meaning 'develop') was an experimental Welsh rock group in the 1980s and early to mid-1990s, now regarded as a catalyst of the new wave of Welsh rock in the early '80s. The band was composed of vocalist David R. Edwards, instrumentalist T. Wyn Davies, and drummer Al Edwards at its conception in 1982; instrumentalist Patricia Morgan later joined in 1985.
