Eurig was appointed a member of the Poets of the Nobility Project| in October 2006. He previously worked as a translator in the National Assembly of Wales’ regional office at Aberystwyth. He received a joint honours degree in Welsh and Film and Television Studies at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, where he then stayed to complete his M.Phil. in the Welsh Department. His dissertation was entitled 'Canu Cynnar Guto’r Glyn' ('The Early Works of Guto’r Glyn'). He has also published a research paper on one of the most pressing issues concerning the poet Guto’r Glyn, namely whether he and the poet Guto ap Siancyn were one and the same person. Eurig was therefore pleased to learn that the Centre was to receive a sizeable grant from the AHRC in order to prepare a new edition of the complete works of Guto’r Glyn. The team embarked upon this project in January 2008.

Eurig is also a successful poet. He won the Chair in the National Urdd Eisteddfod in 2006, and came second in the Chair competition at the National Eisteddfod of Wales on three occasions, in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Consequently, he enjoys studying the work of the Poets of the Nobility on a personal level as well as professionally, though he is sometimes envious of the high status that the poets once enjoyed in Wales!

Llyfr Glas Eurig , his first collection of poems, was published by Barddas in 2008.
