Lisa Jên

She is originally from Bethesda, Gwynedd, north Wales and is the daughter of Welsh actress Linda Brown.

She attended drama school at Ysgol Glanaethwy, beginning her acting career at 14 years old; she landed her first acting break on the Welsh TV drama Rownd a Rownd on S4C.

Brown met her husband, Martin Hoyland, the guitarist for 9Bach, in London.

"The right to govern ourselves in an independent Wales would give us a solid vessel to navigate our future with empathy, knowledge and strength," she said.

Having independence means many things… but what excites me is the value and status our indigenous language will have – as a nation we'd be much more confident speaking our words.
