FILKIN'S DRIFT - Craig y Ddinas / The Miller's Pond

Описание: The second music video from Filkin’s Drift’s debut album Glan – out April 4th, 2025.

Craig y Ddinas draws inspiration from the dramatic rocky outcrop in Banau Brycheiniog / Brecon Beacons, renowned for its Iron Age earthworks and rich natural beauty.

In 2023, we embarked on a walking tour of the Wales Coast Path. Over 58 days, we covered 870 miles, performing 53 gigs along the way. BBC 6 Music’s Cerys Matthews described it as "committed and fascinating."

Born from this adventure, our debut album Glan weaves together tunes we collected on the walk, new compositions inspired by breathtaking landscapes, and music from our home traditions (Wales & Gloucestershire). The title translates loosely from Cymraeg as 'shore' or being close to a body of water.

Maria Jane Williams included the melody for Craig y Ddinas in her 1844 collection, Ancient National Airs of Gwent and Morganwg, naming it after a striking feature of the landscape where she collected the melody. The Miller’s Pond is an original jig composed by Seth Bye for the Filkin’s Ensemble version of ‘The Wind and Rain’.
