Taran is an electrifying young rock band from Cardiff, formed in June 2023 by a group of talented friends from Ysgol Glantaf—Nat, Rose, Zelda, Rhys, and Steff—who came together through the Tafwyl/Menter Caerdydd ‘Introducing’ project. Their sound channels powerful influences from bands like Green Day, Avenged Sevenfold, and Arctic Monkeys, but it is Rose Datta’s distinctive and captivating voice that adds a unique edge to their music. Proudly singing in Welsh, Taran blends energetic, catchy rock with heartfelt storytelling, capturing the vibrancy of their culture and appealing to a broad audience.
Since their formation, Taran has rapidly risen as one of the most promising bands in the Welsh music scene. Their debut single, “Pan Ddaw’r Nos”, released under the respected JigCal label, showcases their raw, energetic sound and has received enthusiastic responses both live and online. Their debut EP, Dyweda, Wyt Ti…, released in July 2024, won the Best Short Album at the Selar Awards, cementing their status as a band to watch. They have performed extensively across Wales at notable venues and festivals including Tafwyl and Maes B, sharing the stage with prominent Welsh-language bands and delighting fans with their high-energy gigs.
Rose Datta, the band’s charismatic lead vocalist, brought even greater recognition to Taran by winning Y Llais in 2025, the Welsh-language version of The Voice. Her triumphant victory on this prestigious platform — under the mentorship of Coach Aleighcia Scott — highlighted her incredible vocal prowess and stage presence, elevating the band’s profile to a national level. Rose’s success has fueled new creative directions for the band, adding fresh energy and innovation to their sound and songwriting
Taran’s music celebrates Welsh language and culture, while embracing inclusivity and broad musical influences. They actively promote bilingualism and seek to connect with diverse audiences, ensuring that their energetic rock sound resonates far beyond Wales. As a young band with a strong sense of identity and artistic ambition, Taran is shaping the future of Welsh rock and poised to make a significant impact in the mainstream music scene.

Income from the provision of pizzas is very important to the venue and if you have booked a table it is a requirement that all people sat at tables order food - a salad alternative is available to pizzas. Please do ensure that all individuals will be ordering on your table - if this is not the case please cancel your table so others who are looking to dine can do so. Our apologies to raise this but recently we have had many tables (some very large) where less than 50% of those sat at tables have ordered food. Financially this is a real problem to the sustainability of the venue.
- All seating at tables must purchase a pizza - so please do not book a table if everyone is not eating.
- Please ensure that you arrive 10 minutes before the time slot allocated to order your pizzas prior to your booking time.
- Tables not seated within 15 minutes of the allocated time may be lost and allocated to other audience members wishing to order pizzas.
