Founded in or before 1855, Lewis Merthyr Band is the oldest musical ensemble from South Wales' Rhondda valleys. The band has performed with Sir Bryn Terfel and Sir Geraint Evans, for the Six Nations Championships & Rugby World Cup at the Principality Stadium & Cardiff Arms Park, and in concert at the Wales Millennium Centre, St David's Hall, Llangollen Pavilion, Royal Albert Hall, across the nation and internationally. We hope you enjoy the videos here and look forward to welcoming you to a Lewis Merthyr event soon.

Wele'n sefyll rhwng y myrtwydd Wrthrych teilwng o fy mryd; Er o'r braidd 'rwy'n Ei adnabod Ef uwchlaw gwrthrychau'r byd: Henffych fore! Henffych fore! Caf ei weled fel y mae. Caf ei weled fel y mae. Rhosyn Saron yw Ei enw, Gwyn a gwridog, hardd Ei bryd! Ar ddeng mil y mae'n rhagori O wrthddrychau penna'r byd; Ffrind pechadur! Ffrind pechadur! Dyma'r llywydd ar y môr. Dyma'r llywydd ar y môr. Beth sydd imi mwy a wnelwyf Ag eilunod gwael y llawr? Tystio 'r wyf nad yw eu cwmni I'w gymharu a'm Iesu Mawr. O, am aros! O, am aros! Yn Ei gariad ddyddiau f'oes! Yn Ei gariad ddyddiau f'oes!

“Life when one first arrives is a continual mortification as one's romantic illusions are successively shattered and the musical treasure-house of one's imagination crumbles before the hopelessness of the reality. Every day fresh experiences bring fresh disappointments.” ― Hector Berlioz
