Carreg Lafar

The group has performed throughout Wales, Brittany, the United States and Canada and 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 band's second album, Hyn, was released in August 1998 and also received rave reviews in folk and roots music magazines in the UK and North America.

[2] Living Tradition magazine said that "This (Profiad) is the most impressive album yet from Welsh band Carreg Lafar."

The current line up still includes four of the original band members, Linda Owen Jones (voice), Rhian Evan Jones (fiddle) James Rourke (flute and whistles) and Antwn Owen Hicks (voice, pibgorn, bagpipes and whistle).
