Guests 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 <http://www.myspace.com/calanfolk>
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.
