Twenty or so miles inland from Bangor’s Anhrefn in Llanrwst, a young Dylan Hughes was becoming musically aware, ‘I was a big Adam and The Ants fan as well as most of the ska bands around, Specials, Selector, The Beat and so on. I didn’t get into The Clash until things got serious with Y Cyrff, at which point I was very much into the White Man in Hammersmith Palais single [by The Clash].’ Explains Dylan who describes how Y Cyrff got together.

What a way to mark 4Q’s 50th gig! Alas Y Cyrff didn’t think so, although I quite enjoyed some of their songs, they followed the trend of 4Q support bands and got a bad reception with people shouting our name, which is bad cos it makes us look like twats (or more twattish than we already are…). Promoter Martin Trehearn was shitting himself with people telling him he’s an idiot to put us on as we’d wreck the place. How wrong they were, and slowly but surely we’re beginning to be taken as a serious band without losing that 4Q brand of psychosis.
This was one of our best gigs (I say this all the time). A great set up using The Bistro’s lights and dry ice. The set was the usual one with VD as the encore. The 7th time we’ve played in Rhyl. Gumpsh & Robin’s 5th gig for 4Q, Cumi’s 42nd & Matt’s 30th.
