Y Mabinogi - The Fourth Branch (CD) | Damh the Bard

Damh’s long-awaited new album The Fourth Branch is now available to order—marking the final CD release in the series.

This album completes the retelling of the Fourth Branch of Y Mabinogi, bringing to a close the full four-album journey through The Four Branches.

First written down in the Middle Ages by Christian Monks and first translated into English by Lady Charlotte Guest in the mid-1800s, these tales are part of the Matter of Britain itself. Although Damh has added dramatic decoration to the translation, these additions are based on current academic research, and he has remained faithful to the original tale throughout. When you listen for the first time, try to find some time for yourself and listen to the double album in its entirety. Let him tell you now of the Matter of Britain, of castles and curses, of the Otherworld, magic, and Pagan Lore.
