Colorama, Plu

Come and join us for an evening of fantastic Welsh music with Colorama's front man Carwyn Ellis and Welsh folk sensations Plu.

Colorama (solo):

Colorama’s main man Carwyn Ellis has to be one of the busiest musicians around. In the last year he’s released two albums as Colorama – ‘Temari’ (in English) and ‘Dere Mewn’ (in Welsh), collaborated with Edwyn Collins on the soundtrack to Mojo’s 2014 Film Of The Year, ‘The Possibilities Are Endless’, released a Welsh Music Prize nominated electronic album (as Zarelli) featuring the late Leonard Nimoy and co-produced, co-written and arranged the new album, ‘Red Kite’ from Saint Etienne singer, Sarah Cracknell. Carwyn and Colorama are one of the best kept secrets in music, but their impressive live shows bear them out as ones to watch.

Plu:

Formed of sibling trio - Elan, Marged and Gwilym Rhys from Snowdonia, North Wales in the Summer of 2012, Plu (meaning 'feathers' in Welsh) play alternative Welsh language folk music with hints of country/ Americana, with close 3 part harmonies being a back-bone to their varied set. As well as their own material Plu play adaptations of traditional songs of Welsh and other origins.

Plu released their debut album 'Plu' on the label Sbrigyn Ymborth in July 2013 which was produced by Aled Hughes from Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog. This album was shortlisted for the Welsh Language Album of the Year 2013/14. The trio created an album for children, titled 'Holl Anifeiliaid Y Goedwig', on the Sain Cyf label, released in December 2014. This was also shortlisted for Welsh Language Album of the Year 2014/15. Their third album 'Tir a Golau' will be released at the end of 2015.
