BRIGYN are brothers Ynyr and Eurig Roberts from Snowdonia, North Wales.

They are amongst the finest Welsh Language artists performing in Wales today, with the majority of their songs a melodic fusion of folk and electronica with beautiful harmonies. Brigyn's unique sound has allowed them to perform at some of UK's leading festivals, including a main stage performance at The Green Man Festival and Glasgow's Celtic Connections.

They are famous for their unique rendition of Leonard Cohen's song "Hallelujah" and recently awarded for the winning song and performance at the Pan Celtic Festival in Dingle, Ireland.

This collection captures songs of Love, Life and Legends - and contain adaptions of poems by Welsh great Dylan Thomas and an elegy to boxing legend Johnny Owen.

"This is a band with great taste, and a fantastic singer in Ynyr Roberts."
Tom Robinson (BBC 6 Music)

"They actually sound like no one else - fresh, original, and dare I say it - quite sexy!"
Gareth Potter (BBC Radio Cymru)
