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.

Siobhan
Here Be Dragons Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Siobhan
On this bright Sunday morn
I am greeting the dawn
Of my life without you Siobhan

Good relationships are all give and take
I gave but you only took
The dreams that you promised are never fulfilled

So now I'm closing the book

Siobhan
On this bright Sunday morn
I am greeting the dawn
Of my life without you Siobhan

So Siobhan you're out of my mind
I'm glad to be on my way
Once we were close now we're far apart
From now on that's how it'll stay

Siobhan
On this bright Sunday morn
I am greeting the dawn
Of my life without you Siobhan

I hated the way you used your power over me
But that power is fading you're a memory
You thought that I could never live without you
But that's exactly what I'm going to do

Siobhan
On this bright Sunday morn

I am greeting the dawn
Of my life without you Siobhan

Siobhan
Addressing the woman being sung to

On this bright Sunday morn
Starting a new chapter in life

I am greeting the dawn
Welcoming new beginnings

Of my life without you Siobhan
Leaving a toxic relationship behind

Good relationships are all give and take
Expressing disappointment in the one-sided nature of the relationship

I gave but you only took
Feeling used and unappreciated

The dreams that you promised are never fulfilled
Realizing that empty promises were made

So now I'm closing the book
Choosing to move on

So Siobhan you're out of my mind
Letting go of the past

I'm glad to be on my way
Feeling relief and freedom

Once we were close now we're far apart
Reflecting on the distance that has grown between them
