   About Gwildor
Gwildor are from Wrexham, north Wales (via London,Builth Wells and mold!). We could be described as 'folk' in the sense that our songs often tell 'tall tales' of sinking ships and preachers etc.

Some of us like to escape to the west Wales coast as often as possible. You can't beat the sea-air for a bit of inspiration!

Our debut album 'Tales from a town' is available now:
