Here Be Dragons have supported many of the top names in World/folk music - The Young Dubliners (USA/Ireland), Carlos Nuñes (Spain), The Oysterband (England), Flook (Ireland) and Yo Yo Mundi (Italy). They have appeared on television in Wales, internationally on cable and enjoyed radio support across Europe as well as in Australia and the USA.

With their live show, you don’t so much introduce Here Be Dragons, as unleash them. They leap onto the stage. Mike Brooks, wild front man and lead singer also extremely accomplished on banjo, guitar, mandolin clad in a kilt bearing the Welsh national flag Will Morrison the drummer keeps the band firing on all cylinders, Stepan Pasicznyk (Formally of “The Ukrainians”) does magic on accordion, Cath Watkins sings and plays fiddle like the devil with such apparent ease, and Kyle Jones plays bass, guitar and vocals.

Here Be Dragons try to be true to their culture and heritage, not as a museum exhibit but in a way that’s a more honest reflection of what it means to be Welsh in the twenty-first century, whilst still respecting their Celtic roots. Using acoustic instruments like banjos, mandolins, fiddles and accordions alongside drums and electric bass in a way that’s far from most people’s idea of a Celtic folk-rock band; the emphasis is much more on the rock style of presentation. They sing in both Welsh and English and play mainly original songs but also include a couple of traditional ones like ‘Sosban Fach,’ and interpret them with all the power they deserve.

Lock Up Your Daughters
Here Be Dragons Lyrics

Hey! Feel the ground a-shaking
Hey! The dragon is awaking
Across the kingdom peasants 'scurrying
Across the kingdom landlords 'worrying
For their daughters being deflowered
For the livestock being devoured
For their sons being beaten
For their wives being eaten

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Lock up your daughters lock 'em up tight
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Dragons on the prowl tonight

Years ago they chased and caught him
Years ago some brave knight fought him
All the king's men thought they'd destroyed
All the king's men just annoyed him
St George a dragon's coming
St George you'd better start running
St George he didn't forget you
St George he's going to get you

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Lock up your daughters lock 'em up tight
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Dragons on the prowl tonight

St George came out of hiding
Feeling a little bolder
The crowd yelled""George are you gonna kill the
dragon?!""
George said""*?#! that for a game of soldiers!""

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Lock up your daughters lock 'em up tight
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Dragons on the prowl tonight

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Lock up your daughters lock 'em up tight
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Dragons on the prowl tonight

St George said""I've retired""
""St George!"" said the king""You're fired!""
The king said""In my knights I trust""
The king's men took off in a cloud of dust
The age of the dragon is on it's way
The age of the dragon begins today
The age of the dragon is dawning
The age of the dragon began this morning

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Lock up your daughters lock 'em up tight
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Dragons on the prowl tonight

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Lock up your daughters lock 'em up tight
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Dragons on the prowl tonight
