Welcome - Dynnargh
Skwardya is a band that started in 1999 playing folk rock in West Cornwall, half through the medium of Cornish, the rest through the medium of English. We went through a few line-ups, as most bands do, but played our final gig at Hayle Language College in October 2002. However, Matthew Clarke, Dave Miller and Brian Simmons continued recording together, along with input from Simon Glanville and Cadwur James.
