Most of their songs are written by themselves and Charlie but some have been written by Welsh poets and novelists such as the late Eirug Wyn.
The duo have released eight albums in Welsh and one in English. They released their first album Yr Wylan Wen/Chwarelwr (The Seagull/Quarryman) in 1991, and received a gold disk by their label Sain in 1992 after selling 12,000 copies. John and Alun also have a radio show on Radio Cymru and have starred in four series of their own television show, "John Dwi, Alun 'dio", for Welsh-language channel S4C.
