'Cynefin' (pr. kuh-neh-vin) is the creative vision of West Wales native Owen Shiers. Fascinated by music and history, it is a bid to give a modern voice to Ceredigion’s rich yet neglected cultural heritage. Starting out from his home village of Capel Dewi in the Clettwr Valley and traveling through the local musical landscape, Owen unearths seasoned songs and stories, some never before recorded, and gives them new life in the present.

Nominated for three awards at the Welsh Folk Awards 223, Cynefin gives Owen a platform to ply his intricate arranging skills whilst taking him right back to his roots.

“Evocative and beautiful” – The Folk Show, BBC Radio 2

“An essential masterpiece in traditional music collection and interpretation, performed to an exemplary level” – Folk Radio
