John ac Alun (John and Alun) are a Welsh country music duo. They are sometimes accompanied by backing musicians, the best known of whom are Tudur Morgan (bass guitar), Charli Britton (formerly of the Welsh rock band Edward H. Dafis; d. 2021) and Simon Barton (drummers). Both John Jones and Alun Roberts come from the village of Tudweiliog and they went to school together. Jones is a former blacksmith and JCB driver, whilst Roberts works for Cyngor Gwynedd. Most of their songs are written by themselves, but some have been written by Welsh poets and novelists such as the late Eirug Wyn.
