Y ferch o bedlam

"My love of traditional music has somehow become an integral part of my very being by now and even though I have a great love of all kinds of music, folk songs have become a life force from which I cannot escape, and indeed a force from which I do not want to escape. The last two years have been invaluable for me in my quest to learn from life's experiences and the songs I sing deal with all the trials and tribulations of life; love and heartbreak,sickness and happiness, birth and death. These songs are a true reflection of our lives on this earth."
