Cynefin Biography
‘Cynefin’ is the musical brainchild of Clettwr valley native Owen Shiers and is a journey to discover the musical landscape and contours of Ceredigion and West Wales. Following a chance discovery of a long forgotten song by a local ballad singer, Owen was inspired to uncover more of the untold stories of the locals who’s voices have been lost over the centuries. A research scholarship from the Finzi Trust has further aided the project, enabling him to delve through unseen archive material, look through rare books as well as source songs from ballad singers and cultural historians.
From the grumbles of millers past, musings of balladeers to the every day tales of ‘y werin’ (the common folk) – the resulting material is unique both in its originality (some of the songs have not been sung for over hundreds of years) but also in the arrangements which are ambitious and distinct.
"“So, so beautiful. Shining new light on Wales’ dusty folk past”- Sam Lee
“Absolutely fantastic” – Frank Hennessy, BBC Celtic Heartbeat
"Where have you been all my life? Utterly, utterly, utterly beautiful" - Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales
