Ablaeth Rhemp y Crachach (The Rampant Ableism of the Crachach) by Troi Cerrig

First single from Sara Erddig and Stuart Estell's new creative project.

This is the first release by Troi Cerrig, a new collaborative project that crosses linguistic, national and sensory boundaries. Sara is from Wrexham, and is a columnist for Barddas magazine and the Golwg360 platform; Stuart is from Worcestershire and speaks South-West Welsh, and has released several albums and numerous singles such as Ffos Goch.

The two members met for the first time ever in September 2025 at Olivet Studios in Rhosrobin, Wrexham; by the end of the weekend, they had a whole album. The majority of the accompaniments were composed at the time, using a variety of acoustic and electronic instruments.

The first poem they recorded was Ablaeth Rhemp y Crachach, Sara's work which has been chosen by academics at Cardiff University to be included in a resource about equality and diversity for schools. Over the accompaniment of a baritone ukulele, Sara performs the poem as a spoken word piece, and the effect is extremely powerful as she describes the abuse she has experienced at the hands of the system. The poem won the Disability Arts Cymru 2022 'Creative Words' award (Welsh medium).
