A campaign of protest linked to the Welsh language movement began in December 1979, which involved burning down English-owned holiday homes in Wales.
Fôn wrote a song belittling the police's unsuccessful attempts to catch those responsible.
In 1990, several detectives visited his home and he was arrested along with his partner, Anna, after they discovered a package hidden in a wall on his cottage's land.
He was held at the police station in Dolgellau for 48 hours before being released without charge.
His C'mon Midffild!
co-cast member, Mei Jones, was arrested at the same time.

In January 2011, it was announced that Bryn Fôn was one of a hundred people who had refused to pay their TV licences as part of the Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg protests against plans to cut the budget of the Welsh-language TV channel, S4C, and the plans to transfer control over the channel to the BBC.

Fôn is married with two children.
