‘Alaw’ is Welsh for melody, and it is a love of melody that is at the heart of this new trio. Drawing on a great wealth of musical experiences Alaw take their audiences on a musical journey – a tune brought back from a tour in Bulgaria or collaboration in India – but at the heart of their set is a passion for the old tunes of Wales. From the elegant to the virtuosic, Alaw play with an empathy that comes from many years of working together. Dylan and Oliver have performed in Szapora and The Ian McMillan Orchestra; Oliver and Jamie are well known throughout the folk world as the frontline of Jamie Smith’s Mabon (“A top band led by one hell of an accordion player” Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2).
