\"Telynau<\/a>Telynau Vining supported\u00a0the Wales Harp Festival<\/a>, which took place\u00a0over April 6th – 7th, 2016 in Caernarfon. There was a busy concert programme,\u00a0a course, and a\u00a0spectacle of fifty harpists playing together on the galleries and balconies in Galeri<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The festival this year also included a\u00a0course<\/a>, which ran\u00a0from 10AM – 5PM on both April 6th and 7th. It was suitable for harpists of all ages and stages, and tutors included Elinor Bennett, Eira Lynn Jones, Morwen Blythin, Einir Wyn Hughes and Dylan Wyn Rowlands.<\/p>\n

\"Elinor<\/a>

At 2PM on April 6th, course participants and the general public enjoyed\u00a0a lecture-recital by Elinor Bennett and Lord Thomas of Gresford. This was\u00a0about the lives of the famous Welsh Romany \u2018Abram Wood\u2019 family.\u00a0Lord Thomas is descended from Abram Wood\u2019s granddaughter – Black Ellen \u2013 whom he describes as \u201cthe finest story teller and the most powerful witch of all the descendants\u201d. His recollections were\u00a0accompanied by Elinor Bennett on the triple harp.<\/p>\n

Thursday, 7 April saw\u00a0more Welsh triple harp, as part of the festival’s main concert at 7:30PM – all about Wales and Ireland! Robin Huw Bowen<\/a>\u00a0performed Welsh Gypsy music on the triple harp, before Ben\u00a0Creighton-Griffiths<\/a> took to the stage with Gypsy jazz on his Big Blue<\/a>. The evening concluded with M\u00e1ire N\u00ed Chathasaigh<\/a>\u00a0(Irish harp) and Chris Newman (guitar), and their breathtaking blend of traditional Irish music, hot jazz, bluegrass and baroque, spiced with striking new compositions – and Chris\u2019s subversive wit!<\/p>\n
