VRï Live

Two-time winners of Best Album at the Welsh Folk Awards, VRï are Jordan Price Williams (cello, voice), Aneirin Jones (violin, voice) and Patrick Rimes (viola, violin, voice).

Inspired by the incredible story of a time when Wales’ traditional music and dance were suppressed by Methodist chapels and, earlier, its language by the Act of Union, VRï shed new light on a vibrant folk tradition. Their music harnesses the raw energy of the fiddle with the finesse of the violin, and the beauty of chamber music with the joy and hedonism of a pub session, all underpinned by powerful vocal harmonies. Expect foot-stomping dance tunes delivered with the poise and elegance of a string ensemble.

Running time: 90mins + interval
