ENGLISH
Gwyneth was conceived following Plaid Cymru's St David's Day dinner at Abaty Maenan, Dyffryn Conwy, North Wales, in 1979. She surprised her parents yet again when she paraphrased the famous Welsh ditty 'Pori mae yr asyn' at the tender age of two.
Following an idyllic childhood and experimental teens, she gained a first class honours degree in Philosophy and Theology from Jesus College, Oxford. She joined the band Coca Rosa and the Dirty Cousins (as one of the Cousins) before returning to her beloved homeland to write plays, poetry, and spread the gospel of country-folk music.
Her debut album, Wyneb dros dro, was released in 2005 by Slacyr Records. Tonau, her second album, was released by her own label, Recordiau Gwinllan, on the 25th of May 2007.

I uploaded it for a free listen on last.fm. If you fancy, have a listen and tell me what you think about it, you can find it at this link:
or just on last.fm if you digit 'trent miller & the skeleton jive' (for some reasons if you digit only 'trent miller' nothing comes out, still have to figure out how it works...)

Gwyneth...beautiful songs, and a beautiful site. You've got some really nice pictures up!
Im so so so jealous of that Guild you got still!! It kills me to look at it. I've got a really nice Martin D15-S and its gorgeous with the same kinda mahogany finish. Anyway...I lost that text you sent me with your address to send some music along, obviously don't post it on here but could you send it in text again please?
Miss those days and nights at Ty-Newydd. Very memorable. Would love to catch up some time!
