Carreg Lafar - Hyn

Carreg Lafar are a traditional Welsh folk band. Formed in Cardiff by Rhian Evan-Jones, Antwn Owen-Hicks, James Rourke, Linda Owen Jones, and Simon O'Shea, Carreg Lafar means "a speaking stone", or "echo stone". Carreg Lafar is one of the bands that has been at the forefront of the Welsh traditional music scene. The group uses a mix of traditional and original music to convey a contemporary and fresh approach, whilst staying firmly rooted in the language and tradition of Welsh song and dance music. The material is arranged for traditional and contemporary instruments including fiddle, flute, pibgorn (hornpipe), bagpipes, and guitar, together with dynamic vocals. The group has made three albums, Ysbryd y Werin (Spirit of the People), Hyn (This) and Profiad ( Experience). Hyn, was released in August 1998 and received rave reviews in folk and roots music magazines in the UK and North America. Living Tradition called it "Welsh folk music at its best."
