Welsh Gold: Traditions
Description
This selection brings together some of Wales‘ leading folk artists, displaying a wide variety of styles and talents. As befits a Welsh compilation, the harp –the national instrument of Wales –features prominently, and also the vocal element is paramount, from the solo voices of Siân James and Gwenan Gibbard to the close harmony of Plethyn, steeped in the plygain carol tradition.
