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.

Here Be Dragons Lyrics
Mae bys Mari Ann wedi brifo
A Dafydd y gwas ddim ond iach
Mae baban yn y crud yn crio
A'r gath wedi scramo Joni bach
Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tan
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr
A'r gath wedi scrammo Joni bach
Mae bys Mari Ann wedi gwella
A Dafydd y gwas yn ei fedd
Mae baban yn y crud wedi tyfu
A'r gath wedi huno yn ei hedd
Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tan
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr
A'r gath wedi scrammo Joni bach
Dai bach y soldiwr, dai bach y soldiwr
Dai bach y soldiwr a chwt ei grys e' mas
Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tan
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr
A'r gath wedi scrammo Joni bach
Shwd grys oedd ganddo? Shwyd grys oedd ganddo?
Shwd grys oedd ganddo? Un wen a streipen las
Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tan
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr
A'r gath wedi scrammo Joni bach
Mae bys Mari Ann wedi brifo
A Dafydd y gwas dim ond iach
Mae baban yn y crud yn crio
A gath wedi scrammo Joni bach
Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tan
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr
A'r gath wedi scrammo Joni bach
Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tan
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr
A'r gath wedi scrammo Joni bach
A Dafydd y gwas ddim ond iach
Mae baban yn y crud yn crio
A'r gath wedi scramo Joni bach
Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tan
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr
A'r gath wedi scrammo Joni bach
Mae bys Mari Ann wedi gwella
Mae baban yn y crud wedi tyfu
A'r gath wedi huno yn ei hedd
Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tan
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr
A'r gath wedi scrammo Joni bach
Dai bach y soldiwr, dai bach y soldiwr
Dai bach y soldiwr a chwt ei grys e' mas
Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tan
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr
A'r gath wedi scrammo Joni bach
Shwd grys oedd ganddo? Shwyd grys oedd ganddo?
Shwd grys oedd ganddo? Un wen a streipen las

A gath wedi scrammo Joni bach
Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tan
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr
A'r gath wedi scrammo Joni bach
Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tan
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr
A'r gath wedi scrammo Joni bach
