Details

A ground breaking band whose daring deconstruction of traditional song and dance music is winning people over to acoustic Welsh music, worldwide. Fernhill, who have played their new lyrical folk music all over the world, have just released their fifth studio album canu rhydd. It features eight new pieces in Welsh and English and is the first to feature their wonderful young fiddle player Christine Cooper. She is joined by Julie Murphy on vocals, described by Time Out as "a must hear, must see singer" and Ceri Rhys Matthews whose percussive and open guitar playing underpins the group's music. Their unique sound is completed by the subtle improvisations of Tomos Williams on trumpet.
