"Triban are a trio hailing from Aberystwyth and "Dragons" is an album of many parts. Part traditional, part self penned; part sung in English, part sung in Welsh; part light, part melancholic. It's also an album that is greater than the sum of those parts. The harp and fiddle inter-twine like ivy on oak, the strength of one, supporting the delicate threads of the other, often switching roles to allow the other to shine. The vocal, strong through out, but more empassioned in Welsh, delivers with feeling, which just leaves the guitar to provide a backbone to build out the band." - FATEA
HARRIET EARIS is a classically trained harpist, now specialising in the celtic harp. She plays
extensively throughout Britain and abroad, having toured widely on both sides of the Atlantic. She
won the 'Harper of All Britain' prize in 2000 and in 2002 and the Danny Kyle award at Celtic
Connections 2007. She has gained a reputation internationally as an extremely talented and
expressive harpist.
Singer, songwriter and guitarist, IAN WYN ROWLANDS has been described by T.V personality
Lyn Ebenezer as 'one of the best undiscovered talents performing in Wales today'. In recent years,
Ian has been performing professionally as a solo guitarist and singer playing original material and
traditional ballads in both Welsh and English. A founder member of bands 'Tra Bo Dau' and
'Abenaki', and having published two albums with them, Ian is busy preparing new material for a
third solo album.
JASPER SALMON has been playing the fiddle since the age of eight. After some time playing in
pubs and clubs round Essex, he studied violin and viola at Colchester Institute School of Music,
where he joined forces with Clive Carroll and Beccy Carroll as the trio 'Back To Basics' playing
widely around the UK festival and folk music scene throughout the 1990s. He has appeared as a
session player on numerous albums and played in a variety of acts from bluegrass to prog rock.
