It was founded in Cardiff in 1969 by singer-songwriters Dafydd Iwan and Huw Jones, and businessman Brian Morgan Edwards, as a home for Welsh-language rock and folk music, which was otherwise finding it difficult to 'break through' in the UK market. The company released its first single in October 1969, Huw Jones’ “Dwr” (Welsh for Water), a powerful song about the controversial drowning of the Tryweryn Valley, in the north-west of Wales, to form Llyn Celyn reservoir. Many of the company’s early releases were recorded at the Rockfield Studios in Monmouth.
