Cerys Matthews - Tir

Cerys Matthews is a Welsh singer, songwriter, author, and broadcaster. She was a founding member of Welsh Indie band Catatonia and a leading figure in the "Cool Cymru" movement of the late 1990s. In 2010, Matthews released Tir (in Welsh: 'territory' or 'land'), a collection of traditional Welsh songs, They included "Calon Lân", Cwm Rhondda, Migldi-Magldi (sung as a duet with Bryn Terfel), Myfanwy and Sosban Fach.[24] This is the third release on her own label, Rainbow City. Cerys has a lovely voice and the songs are mostly new to me which is always great.
