| | Cilmeri were one of the bands that were present at the beginning of the folk surge in Wales at the end of the 70’s. Formed by college friends Tudur Huws Jones, Huw Roberts and Ywain Myfyr, the three were influenced by the folk music traditions of Ireland and questioned why the musical traditions of Wales were being ignored. Elwyn Rolands, Robin Llwyd ab Owain and Gwenan Griffith all joined and the group released a self titled E.P.
After a member re-shuffle they released ‘Henffych Well’ in 1982, and this years permormance at Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau includes the very same line-up 35 years on; Huw Bach Roberts (fiddle, harp), Tudur Huws Jones (banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, whistle), Iwan Roberts (mandolin, guitar), Elwyn Rowlands (guitar), Dan Morris (ffiddle), Ywain Myfyr (bodhran, Harmonica, bouzouki). |
