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 and instrumentalist T. Wyn Davies at its conception in 1982; with instrumentalist Patricia Morgan joining in 1985. Davies left in 1990 and the group continued as a duo for a while, before being augmented by a series of musicians, notably drummer Al Edwards for the third album Libertino in 1993. After a final single in 1995, the group disappeared and have not been heard of since, although no official announcement of their demise has ever been issued.
