Ar Log was formed initially to represent Wales at a Celtic Festival in Lorient, Brittany, in August 1976, and they were encouraged by The Dubliners to continue performing as a group after the festival. The founders were Dave Burns on guitar; Dafydd Roberts on triple harp and flute; Gwyndaf Roberts on knee harp and bass; and Iolo Jones (fiddle).
The ensemble eventually grew in size and had different lineups throughout the years.
Ar Log has toured throughout the British Isles, continental Europe, and North and South America promoting Welsh music and songs.
