Gwenan, harpist and singer from the Llŷn peninsula, stands at the forefront of today’s thriving Welsh traditional music scene.  Having graduated in music from the University of Wales Bangor, and gaining a masters degree in performance and research in the field of Welsh music, she went on to further her studies at the Royal Academy of Music, London.  She has won many harp and singing competitions at The National Eisteddfod of Wales, The Cerdd Dant Festival and The Pan Celtic Festival, and has performed at several festivals, at home and abroad, including The Lorient Interceltic Festival (Britanny), The World Harp Congress (Dublin), The North American Festival of Wales (Cincinnati), Celtic Colours Festival (Nova Scotia, Canada), The Edinburgh International Harp Festival and Celtic Connections (Glasgow).   

In October 2011 she will be guest artist at the prestigious Camac Harps Festival, Angers, France.  She has released two albums, to much acclaim, ‘Y Gwenith Gwynnaf’ in 2006, and, most recently, ‘Sidan Glas’, both of which include her own exciting, contemporary arrangements of Welsh traditional music and songs, the playing firmly rooted in the heart of the tradition, yet showing a fresh and innovative approach.
