Hergest's latest album, Ffrindiau Bore Oes, is a beautiful collection of Welsh folk songs that will transport listeners to the rolling hills and green valleys of Wales. The album showcases the band's versatility, with a mix of traditional and contemporary tracks that are sure to please fans of all ages.

Other standout tracks include "Yr Hen Ffordd," a rousing tune that will have listeners tapping their feet, and "Cân y Ffordd," a poignant ballad that showcases the band's vocal harmonies. The album closes with "Ynys Enlli," a hauntingly beautiful instrumental that perfectly captures the rugged beauty of the Welsh coast.
