MACYM

 

The record label of Mudiad Adloniant Cymraeg Ynys Mon, 'The Isle of Anglesey Welsh-Language Entertainment Movement', an Anglesey-based entertainment company.  MACYM issued at least three singles in 1979 through Sain Records (q.v.), using a MACYM-0 numbering series.  All three were by Welsh Rock artists: MACYM-1 was Eliffant's 'Seren I Seren' b/w 'Lisa Lan', while MACYM-3 was 'Breuddwyd Roc A Rol' b/w 'Smo Fi Ishe Mynd', by Edward H. Dafis.  MACYM-2, 'Gwesty Cymru' b/w 'Mynd I Weld Y Fran', didn't have an artist's name on the labels but over on 45cat Donna Bean of BBC Wales has been able to supply it: it was by Geraint Jarman a'r Cynganeddwyr.  The Eliffant single had a white label with the word 'MACYM' at the top (1); by the time of the second single a more adventurous had been adopted (2).  It features a map of Ynys Mon / Anglesey.  Manufacture of all three singles was by Lyntone.  Thanks to The Judge of 45cat for the translation of the company's name.
