Rholben gave us a wonderful night in 2022 and we are more than pleased to get them back. Also a great success in 2022 was the afternoon singing harmony workshop so they will be holding another this year in the afternoon to teach a Welsh song which participants will sing during the gig in the evening.
​
They play Welsh traditional music with tenderness, wit, and deep emotion. Siriol Davies is a really beautiful singer and is supported by thoughtful guitar, melodic bass, sweeping strings, and brilliant harmonies to create a sound that feels light and current whilst also feeling as weighty and old as the hill from which they take their name. They are Siriol Davies Vocals, Oboe John Ruddock Guitar Colin Fletcher Double Bass Jane Griffiths Viola, Fiddle Giles Lewin Fiddle
Entrance to the gig £15
Afternoon singing workshop £10
Joint entrance afternoon and evening £20.
