Member Since11/7/2005
Band WebsiteHey, this is it!!!!!!
Band MembersWell, now that’s a question.........! At differing times myself (Catrin O'Neill) on guitar, vocals, harmonies, bodhran (or Tabor if you are in Wales!!) and other percussion, still trying to work out how to play them all at the same time!! Eeeek!! Now I'm backin Wales I play as a duo with Mike Lease (fiddle/ bouzouki) or Chris Knowles (Harp/ Bouzouki). I'm also playing as a four piece with Chris, Gary (fiddle) and Bruce (pipes/ flute / whistle). We combine my music with their fab Irish Ceilidh playing. Also playing on my album is Nathan Lewis Williams, Welsh soul brother and bard extraordinaire (guitar/ bouzouki and vocals).
InfluencesBOB!!, Sandy Denny, Steel Eye Span, Neil Young, Nick Drake, Simon and Garfunkle, Dr Faustus, Bert Janch, Nick Dow. My amazing Nain. All sorts of traditional Celtic music.

   About Catrin O’Neill

Myspace Layout Generator by LayoutGeneratorMyspace.com


Catrin O'Neill was surrounded by traditional Welsh music and culture growing up in Aberdyfi in Snowdonia, but her adult life has exposed her to many new influences. "I took my guitar and had five years of travel," she says. "I produced children's cabaret shows in the depths of China and was a chorus line dancer the Bollywood film industry in India, among other things." Now settled back in Wales, she has spent the past four years "song writing, learning new instruments and rediscovering my undying passion for Welsh and Celtic folk music". Her music is Welsh, Irish and English trad folk along with original material in both Welsh and English. She plays solo but more often as a duo or as part of a four piece incorporating harp, fiddle, bouzouki, pipes and whistle. Her material ranges from beautiful Welsh airs to silly Irish drinking songs accompanied only with bodhran. Personally she sings, plays guitar and bodhran. Her band mates are also able to offer workshops in harp, bouzouki and Irish fiddle, from beginner to advanced level. In late 2007 she completed her first album, Nain's Kitchen/Cegin Nain which was independently released in early 2008. Review from FATEA Magazine below. “Any album with a song about drinking hard cider has got something going for it. Catrin O'Neill has put together an album of traditional classics and contemporary gems that I guess she's hoping will add to their number. "Nain's Kitchen" is an album of stoves and crock pots rather than ovens and bowls, songs of the people, not the peers, but delightfully practical with nothing going to waste. O'Neill herself can turn her voice from songs, sang almost angelically in Gaelic to rough drinking songs that seem to put you over the drink drive limit just by listening. Refreshingly direct”.

So how does one spell ,"Ystrdgynllych"? ---or maybe not. Thrown out of a  Druid Park  there once with the "Red Choir"!!

Ah to hear your lovely Welsh drawl--makes a boy homesick even if he's not from Wales!
Thanks for your musical friendship!
