Three years ago, Gwydion went on an indefinite hiatus. But hope rose earlier this year, when the band announced they would tour again. They are now preparing a new album, expected in July 2018. In order to help financing the recording of this album, a crowdfunding campaign has been launched last week with a fixed goal of ?2,500. It has long been known by the fans that Gwydion struggle with money, and this is a chance for those who care for their music to support the project. The campaign started here on Indiegogo on November 28th and it will last for 2 months.

The band started back in 1995 and released three albums in total. They could disband in the future but for now, it's just a break.
