Fe ffurfiwyd y band Caswallon ap Cranc yn Neuadd Pantycelyn, ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth nol yn 2006. Mae Daf o Langefni, ar Ynys Mon, a mae Alwyn o ardal Llanfyllin, draw yn Sir Drefaldwyn. Ar ol pendroni dros yr enw, daeth ysbrydoliaeth gan Daf o cyn fand ei dad, gyda'r enw 'Cerddorfa Geltaidd Caswallon ap Cranc'. Penderfynwyd wedyn i alw'r band, ar raddfa symlach, yn Caswallon ap Cranc. Mae'r deuawd yn edrych ymlaen at recordio albym y flwyddyn yma. Maent yn awyddus erbyn hyn i ail-gynnau'r fflam gerddorol ar ol seibiant o gerddoriaeth ers Mehefin 2008. Maent wedi penderfynu recordio albym (ia, albym) yn y gobaith ei fod am gael ei gwblhau cyn diwedd Mawrth 2009, gyda gobaith o ryddhau sengl yn fuan cyn cwblhau'r albwm.
Daf sy'n gyfrifol am ysgrifennu geiriau'r caneuon tra bod Al yn cyfansoddi'r cerddoriaeth. Mae'r ddau yn rhannu mewn-olwg tebyg i fewn i sut mae'r cerddoriaeth am gael ei gyfansoddi a mae'n gweithio yn dda. Mae'r deuawd wedi cael yr anrhydedd o chwarae llond llaw o gigs gwych wedi bod yn cefnogi rhai o fandiau ac artistiaid mwyaf y sin. Mae pethau yn dda iawn i'r band hyd yn hyn; gobeithio bydd mwy ohono i ddod hefo albym cyn diwedd Mawrth 2009.
Caswallon ap Cranc were formed in Pantycelyn Halls of Residence, in Aberystwyth University back in 2006. Daf is from the central town of Llangefni, on the Isle of Anglesey whilst Alwyn is from near the Llanfyllin area in Montgomeryshire. After initial uncertainty over the name, the band were inspired by Daf's father's band, who, back in their day, were known as 'Cerddorfa Geltaidd Caswallon ap Cranc'. Daf then suggested the name Caswallon ap Cranc, which was agreed upon. The duo are looking forward to recording an album in March 2009, with a view to releasing a single shortly before the release date of the album.
Daf is responsible for writing all of the lyrics whilst Al composes all the music. Things for the band are looking fairly quiet at present, with no serious activity since June 2008. They are now planning on re-kindling the musical flame which has brought them success and enjoyment in the last few years. They have had the pleasure of playing a few really exciting gigs in the past supporting some of the Scene's finest acts and bands. There have been many good things for the band so far, and hopefully it will continue with an album scheduled before the end of March 2009.
