Bethan Nia is one of the most individual artists emerging from Wales today. Her music creates a colourful patchwork of sound woven through the strings of her Celtic harp that effortlessly blend the ancient and modern.
Singing in Welsh and English her songs build bridges of emotion to the hidden heart of Wales.
In the past year Bethan has performed at the opening ceremonies of the International Eisteddfod, Llangollen and the Interceltique festival, Lorient. She also introduced audiences to traditional Welsh music at Glastonbury Festival

Dear friends, I am playing a free gig at the beauteous Union Chapel, Islington this Saturday. The sunlight will be streaming through its vaulted windows as Blank Canvas and Arctic Circle present this gig during the blessed daylight hours of 12-2. And yea shall it's hallowed interior be filled with all manner of scraping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. Let us pray. And then let us go to the pub.
