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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSong lyrics, arrangements, and orchestral compositions - Damh the Bard.\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eDamh the Bard plays: Narration, lead vocals and harmonies, acoustic 6- and 12-string guitars, bouzouki, mandolin, Anglo-Saxon lyre, drums and percussion, midi programming.\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eThe Medieval Welsh Monk and Englyn - Kristoffer Hughes\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eRhiannon - S J Tucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCover art and design: Cerri Lee -  \u003ca style=\"color: #1264a3; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cerrilee.com\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewww.cerrilee.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eDamh the Bard website:  \u003ca style=\"color: #1264a3; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.paganmusic.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewww.paganmusic.co.uk\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e© Damh the Bard 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"peekaboo-text\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Order of Bards Ovates \u0026 Druids Online Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57594216743286,"sku":"CD_YMT_1194","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/4344\/9401\/files\/YMab4coverStreaming_74fb7eb4-2208-428e-bdd9-dc30f005676b.jpg?v=1775048681","url":"https:\/\/store.druidry.org\/products\/y-mabinogi-the-fourth-branch-cd","provider":"OBOD Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
