Gwilym Bowen Rhys at the Stag and Hounds BRISTOL

Event information

Gwilym Bowen Rhys has established himself as a worthy ambassador for Welsh language and song both at home in Wales and across the world, confirmed by his nomination for the Folk Singer of the Year Award in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2019 and winning the Best Solo Artist Award in the Welsh Folk Awards the same year. His music combines old melodies and lyrics, intricate guitar arrangements, and a rich powerful voice that effortlessly swings from velveteen sweetness to earthy grit. His latest album - Aden, was described by Folk London as a ´must listen´ and ´´firmly secures Rhys' place as perhaps Wales' most engaging and enchanting folk singers´´. He will be joined by fantastic musicians Gwen Màiri on harp, and Patrick Rimes on fiddle.
