"Songs from the heart of Wales"
"Original folk songs composed in both modern and traditional styles"
Daniel formed BRENIG in 2012 with long time friend Mandy Martin (vocals/mandolin) and Mary Moylett (violin).
The name BRENIG is taken from the river that flowed past Daniels grandparents farm near Tregaron in Mid Wales. He was born on the farm and spent most of his childhood there. Still involved with farming and enjoying living in the countryside, Daniel draws on his own personnel observations and experiences to write his songs.
Mandy is originally from Staffordshire, but moved to Wales several years ago. Her family have strong connections to the midland folk scene. Her mother Jean Ward and father Laurie ran folk clubs around the Cannock area for many years.
Modern and traditional folk songs which tell stories of welsh folklore, traditions, history, love and the countryside. Haunting melodies inspired by Celtic, Cajun, blues, folk rock, folk/country, traditional folk, eastern European and Asian music. Entwined with beautifully descriptive heartfelt lyrics that will make you laugh, cry and inspire you. Lovely harmonies, Mandy's beautiful pure clear voice and great musicianship .
A selection of covers and tunes can also included in our sets if required.
DANIEL ALSO RUN THE ABERYSTWYTH FOLK CLUB / CLWB GWERIN ABER FOLK.
