Award-winning composer Malin Lewis melds West Coast tradition with a newly invented, self-made bagpipe alongside Sally Simpson on Fiddle and Ali Hutton on Guitar. Hair-tingling, philosophical and dance-inducing melodies inspired by European folk traditions, human nature, queerness and the universe. Inspired by the likes of Martyn Bennett, Duncan Chisholm and Sharron Shannon, their music is as lively as it is thought-provoking and sensitive.
Two-time winners of Best Album at the Welsh Folk Award, VRï are Jordan Price Williams (cello, voice), Aneirin Jones (violin, voice) and Patrick Rimes (viola, violin, voice). VRï shed new light on a vibrant folk tradition that harnesses the raw energy of the fiddle with the finesse of the violin, and the beauty of chamber music with the joy and hedonism of a pub session, all underpinned with powerful vocal harmonies.
