Well, now that’s a question.........! An ever changing gang we are, consisting of 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!! Nathan Lewis Williams, Welsh soul brother and bard extraordinaire and of late the enchanting whistle and Harp of Rosie Foye. Gem Quinn plays Moooog, bass and percussion. Plus any other peeps I can drag along at the time!! Phew!!
Influences
Jeff Buckley, BOB!!, Old stuff like Sandy Denny,Steel Eye Span, Neil Young, Hendrix, Nick Drake. REM, Sieze the Day. Reggae and Drum and Base for dancing.
Afro Celt and more traditional Celtic stuff ( which is kinda what I write).
I`d like to explode (Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee) into a new more experemental faze with my own music!?! maybe fuzeing the beautiful Celtic stuff with dance, drum n base or rock. I need peeps to play with!! HELP!!
Well, Well, I..m Very Welsh (and so is a lot of my music) but have a Very Irish sirname. Decended from the Kings of Ulster you know!!??!! Aparently they were not a very nice bunch but I always think its worth a mention!!??
I’m originally from Aberdyfi in North Wales but am in the process of relocating to the Vale of Glamorgan and very exited about diving into the South Wales music scene.
I play Welsh, Irish and English trad folk along with original material in both Welsh and English. I can play solo but often play as a duo or trio. (It’s more fun!!) My material ranges from beautiful Welsh airs to silly Irish drinking songs accompanied only with bodhran.
Personally I sing, play guitar and bodhran but am often accompanied by bouzouki, whistle and harp.
Congrats on your release, pet, and good luck out in the world of no longer smoky stages. Hope you're well? Long time no hear, and occasionally thinkin of you. Life's a touch tricky here, but summer's here so huray! xx
