DELYTH & ANGHARAD JENKINS  Delyth did not take up the harp (and the Welsh language) until her early twenties having moved to South Wales from Oswestry to study French and English. She started her musical career with the Swansea-based band Cromlech and later combined with two of the members to form the highly acclaimed instrumental trio “Aberjaber”. Alongside this, she developed her own successful solo career, performing across Europe and the States, as well as closer to home. To date she has three solo albums which portray her love of traditional music and her own compositions. She has recently published a collection of  her own arrangements of tunes from Wales and other Celtic nations and her own compositions. These are suitable for both Celtic and pedal harp, piano and other keyboard instruments.

Delyth has also developed her musical, acting and teaching skills in her work for theatre, including a stint in a Theatre-in-Education company and acting as Musical Director for various productions at the Torch Theatre, Milford Haven. She has worked with Swansea’s Fluellen Theatre, including the composition of original music for their adaptation of George Borrow’s “Wild Wales” and with productions at Swansea Grand Theatre.

Delyth's daughter Angharad has recently gained a degree in music from Oxford Brookes University. As well as performing with her mother, she is also a member of the dynamic Welsh band Calan who released their debut album on the Sain label last autumn.

Join us as mother and daughter give us a celebration of beautiful music on harp and fiddle. DELYTH JENKINS

BRAM TAYLOR  Bram Taylor is an entertaining artist with a distinctive voice and relaxed stage presence who gives an evening "Taylored" to suit his audience. Bram calls on a large repertoire of traditional songs, together with contemporary and humorous material, performed on acoustic guitar, duet concertina, or unaccompanied. With a wealth of experience behind him, he has established a fine reputation which has gone from strength to strength from tours in the UK and USA of Folk Clubs, festivals and concerts. Bram has his audiences singing, laughing from his infectious sense of humour, and occasionally, shedding a tear or two from some of the poignant songs he loves to sing. http://www.bramtaylor.com/index.htm
