Taith Duo

Performer Name: Taith Duo

Taith is the Welsh for journey. Although they come from very different musical backgrounds, Gillian and Dylan have found common ground in their desire to ignore musical categories and draw on traditional music from Wales and other countries as well as their own original compositions. The inspiration gained from travelling and working with musicians from many other cultures, adds a richness to their performances. They have performed together in Greece, Italy, Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, Iceland, Germany and France. Occasionally they happily get to perform more locally. Dylan plays as part of the group ALAW who performed at the BBC Proms back in 2018. He also performs with the Indo/ Welsh trio, Tyhai and the Celtic Guitar Trio. Gillian has another musical life playing early music on bass viol or baroque cello. Using a range of instruments, including the ancient Welsh crwth, guitar, tenor viol and whistles they create a magical and spell-binding atmosphere.
