VRÏ WIN BEST ALBUM AT WALES FOLK AWARDS
Congrats to Welsh chamber folk trio VRï - including 'one of our own' Jordan J P Williams (ORC, 02-08) who have won Best Album for Islais a genir at this year's Wales Folk Awards, which were held at Hoddinott Hall at Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff on 22nd April, 2023
The band also picked up the award for Best Instrumental Track for their song 'Yr Ehedydd'. Islais a genir ('a sung whisper') is the second album from the trio, whose acclaimed 2019 debut Tŷ Ein Tadau earned them a clutch of accolades, including Best Album and the Best Traditional Welsh Language Track at the 2019 Wales Folk Awards, a nomination at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and a nomination for the Welsh Music Prize.
The awards, which are a partnership between Trac Cymru (Wales' folk development agency), BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru, the Arts Council of Wales and significant individuals from the world of Welsh folk music, recognize the ever growing talent of the folk sector in Wales.
