SongChain 2 brings together Kate Ronconi Woollard, Beth Williams Jones, Stacey Blythe, Christine Cooper, Ceri Jones, Gareth Bonello, Jamie Smith and Patrick Rimes for an exciting evening of new collaborations and unique arrangements of both traditional and contemporary Welsh tunes and songs.
These eight musicians will take you on a musical journey around Wales, from the mountains to the sea, the country to the city, linking the old with the new. They celebrate the wealth, variety and richness of our music and musicians, telling stories with music in a rolling bi-lingual performance, a festival of music all in one night.
