PictureEve Goodman
Eve Goodman grew up in North Wales, and has had a deep relationship with singing and sounding for as long as she can remember. Eve writes and performs in both Welsh and English. Influenced by the artistry and the expression of intuitive solo voices like Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake and Adrienne Lenker, Eve combines honest lyricism with mesmerising musical hooks and patterns. In 2024 Eve released her debut album, ‘Summer Sun, Winter Trees’, a collection of songs about healing through the grieving process. In recent years Eve has dived into a yearlong study of vocal improvisation, performed internationally, and was featured on Welsh bass baritone Sir Bryn Terfel’s new album ‘Sea Songs’ with two duets in both Welsh and Breton.  Her upcoming Welsh language album, ‘Natur’, written and performed in collaboration with Welsh singer-songwriter Sera, is a collection of songs about the rhythms and cycles of nature and women.

Gwilym Bowen Rhys has established himself as a worthy ambassador for Welsh language and song at home in Wales and across the world, confirmed by his nomination for the Folk Singer of the Year Award in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and winning the Best Solo Artist Award in the Welsh Folk Awards.​  ​Hailing from the village of Bethel at the foot of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) in North West Wales, Gwilym has been singing in his native Welsh language since he can remember, giving him a deep connection with the traditional songs and music of his native land and a love of sharing his music with the local communities of this Welsh-speaking region.  ​Bringing to life ancient Welsh lyrics and melodies, his music is made unique by his own contemporary musical approach. His first album ‘O Groth y Ddaear’ (From The Womb Of The Earth) was released in 2016 and was shortlisted for Best Welsh Language Album of The Year at the National Eisteddfod, helping to establish him as a new and vital voice for the music of Wales.  ​His 5th album - ´Aden´ was released in 2025
