Adwaith’s GWEN Goes It Alone With ‘Achub Yr Iaith’
Welsh musician GWEN (Gwenllian Anthony), best known as a member of the acclaimed group Adwaith, has released her debut solo single, 'Achub Yr Iaith' (Welsh for "Saving the Language"). The release marks her first step outside the band, which has built a strong reputation across three albums and extensive European touring, and continues a wider trend of Welsh-language artists championing minority languages through their music.
Described as a punchy and purposeful track, 'Achub Yr Iaith' arrives with an accompanying video co-directed by Louis O'Hara and Gwenllian herself, with photography credited to Aled Llewelyn. The single underscores GWEN's commitment to the Welsh language and positions her as a distinct solo voice alongside her ongoing work with Adwaith.

Explained simply
GWEN (Gwenllian Anthony) is a Welsh musician who is a member of Adwaith, an established band that has released three albums and toured widely across Europe. The group has built a strong reputation within the Welsh music scene.
Welsh-language music serves as a platform for language preservation and cultural expression within Wales, particularly at a time when English dominates much of popular media and digital spaces. Adwaith is part of this broader movement of Welsh-language artists, and GWEN's solo work continues this tradition.
