WALESCYMRU
Lleuwen Steffan
Lleuwen hails from the Welsh speaking heartlands of North Wales and although her vocal training has been essentially classical, early influences like Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald have taken deep root in her soul. Lleuwen has released an album of hymns; God Only Knows in 2005 and has recent released solo album Penmon, reflecting the Welsh landscape which inspires her. One thing's for sure when Lleuwen sings, it sounds like she’s giving away her whole soul! She makes each song breathe with longing, or ‘hiraeth’.
Mae Lleuwen yn dod o fro Gymraeg Ynys Môn ac erbod ei hyfforddiant yn glasurol, dylanwadau cynnar hi oedd Billie Holiday ac Ella Fitzgerald oedd wedi ei ysbrydoli. Maw Lleuwen wedi rhyddhau albwm o emynau; Duw a Ŵyr yn 2005 ac mae hi wedi rhyddhau albwm unawd Penmon, ac sydd yn adlewyrchu tir Cymru. Un peth syn siŵr pryd mae Lleuwen yn canu, Mae hi’n seinio fel hi’n eich rhodd ei enaid cyfan. Mae hi’n gwneud pob cân anadlu gyda hiraeth.

Ember
In a more intimate café environment, you can enjoy Ember, a very much in demand Welsh/American duo. Their simple yet moving music centres on the miraculous blending of two very different voices: that of Welsh songstress Emily Williams, who sails through the mix with her violin and sets up chunky rhythms with her nylon-strung guitar, and that of Rebecca Sullivan of Utah who fingerpicks a sparkling steel-string, and breaks out the harmonica for a song or two. The pair are engaging and humorous performers who have a natural repartee with audiences and perform their own folk sound.
Yn amgylchoedd café gydag awyrgylch glyd, allwch chi fwynhau Ember, band yn boblogaidd o Gymru ac America. Eu cerddoriaeth syml a gwefreiddiol nhw yn cyfuno dau o leisiau gwahanol. Yn gyntaf, y gantores Gymraeg Emily Williams, fydd yn chwarae ffidl a rhythmau talpiog ar ei gitâr a Rebecca Sullivan, yn dod o Utah, fydd yn chwarae harmonica ac yn canu un neu ddwy o ganeuon. Maen nhw yn berfformwyr dymunol a thalent naturiol, a bydd yn perfformio eu sŵn gwerin arbennig.
