Specially Penned Poem “Hud Y Gogledd” Exclusively For The Blue Chapel

Speaking about a special part of her culture, passionate writer Gwion Owen penned the anthology of poems especially and exclusively for The Blue Chapel. She gives further insight into ‘Cerdd Dant’, which translates to ‘string music’ in English. It is believed to have originated in the court of the Welsh princes in the 14th century. It was a popular form of entertainment in Wales during the 18th and 19th centuries and was often performed at Eisteddfodau, or Welsh cultural festivals. Today, Cerdd Dant remains a significant part of Welsh culture and is performed by both amateur and professional musicians. The music of Cerdd Dant tells stories of Wales, its history, and its people and continues to be a source of pride and inspiration for Welsh people. The tradition has been passed down from generation to generation and remains an essential part of the rich cultural heritage of Wales.

Hud Y Gogledd (Magic Of The North)

North Wales, oh how you shine,
With your rugged hills and coastline,
From Snowdonia’s peaks up high,
To the castles that catch the eye.

The Welsh language heard throughout,
Friendly people with no doubt,
Majestic views that take our breath,
Nature’s beauty, oh what a depth.

From Betws-y-Coed to Llandudno,
Llanberis and Caernarfon,
North Wales, a gem so bright,
A place that fills us with delight.

So let us roam your green and blue,
And explore your beauty anew,
North Wales, a happy place to be,
Forever in our hearts, it will be.
