Mae'r WWW yn perfformio gyda band dychmygol neu gyda band go iawn. Gyda'i chymysgedd amlieithog o tragi-comic parti-bangars ac eiliadau o melancoli, mae WWW a'i griw (o dan nifer i enwau gwahanol) wedi bod yn difyrru gynulleidfaoedd ar draws Ewrop a thu hwnt ers tua 2007

Liam Rickard (Worldwide Welshman) is a singer-songwriter, folk-singer, artist and occasional comedian from Betws-y-Coed, now based in Machynlleth. WWW often performs with a band. When they're not available, he performs with an imaginary band. WWW and his friends (under various guises) have been performing their multi-lingual mix of tragic-comic party anthems and folk-pop ballads across Europe and beyond since about 2007.

Scottish-Ghanaian multi-instrumentalist- bass, acoustic and electric guitars, keys and drum machine madness!

A small amount of chaos is now on Twitter  (although the rancid horror of that place under the repellent owner will force a relocation, with BlueSky looking the most likely...)

We got thrown off TikTok because the 52 second runtime of our track Big Band Theory was quite correctly perceived as being of 'prog-rock dinosaur proportions'; chastened by this, we are now here instead.
