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.

One More Year
Here Be Dragons Lyrics

I was going back home for Christmas
On one occasion I can't forget
I got chatting to a girl ahead of me in the ticket queue
That was how we first met
I no longer recall the time of day
I don't even remember the weather
I remember you at Paddington Station
And us leaving on the train together

Now one more year's nearly over

We've traveled one more year down the line
Here we are again like now like then
Going home at Christmas time

If we'd been traveling in different directions
We might have parted there and then
You'd have gone your way and I'd have gone my way
We'd have never seen each other again
Now we've traveled together a long way since then
It hasn't always been easy I know
But if you think of that time at Paddington Station
Who'd have thought how far we'd go

Now one more year's nearly over
We've traveled one more year down the line
Here we are again like now like then
Going home at Christmas time

Now as I walk along the platform
I get a feeling of deja vous
I can't recall the number of times I've been here
Alone or with you
But of all the times that I've been here
One occasion sticks in my mind
It was when I met you at Paddington Station
For the very first time

Now one more year's nearly over
We've traveled one more year down the line
Here we are again like now like then
Going home at Christmas time
