Description

ENGLISH:
Amledd brings together the talents of Singer/Songwriter Rhian Williams (formerly from the band UST) and violinist/producer Billy Thompson.

The two started writing and recording together in 2003 and thus Amledd was born.

Rhian Williams hails from Bala, North Wales and has been writing songs and poetry for many years. Billy met Rhian whilst she was performing with Huw Symonds of Llanuwchllyn. Up until Amledd she is best know for her band UST (featuring Paul Edwards, Llion Banes, Huw Evans, Bryn Roberts, Les Morrison and Hefin Huws).

Billy Thompson is best known in Wales for his recordings and performances with The Amigos (Gypsymania, Alma Gitana & Jazz Manouche) and also with Welsh legend Meic Stevens (Mihangel, Ysbryd Solva). Billy can also be heard on numerous sessions including those with Alun Tan Lan (Aderyn Papur), Mim Twm Llai (Yr Eira Mawr), Sian James (Y Ferch O Bedlam), Heather Jones, Jim Rowlands and Delwyn Sion. Billy was twice finalist in the UK's Young Jazz Musician of the year back in 1996 and 1998. He subsequently went on to record and perform with Barbara Thompson's Paraphernalia appearing on 5 albums and 400+ appearances around Europe including Ronnie Scott's, London. He has also performed wih Jools Holland at St David's Hall, Cardiff and with Dutch Gypsy maestro Lollo Meier.

Amledd also incorporates the hugely talented young guitarist Dave Edwards, Dave 'Taif' Ball on fretless Bass and Steve Roberts on Drums.

Taif and Steve are top professionals who have recorded and performed with many greats. Taif for example has toured and recorded with John Martyn, Lloyd Cole, Jools Holland, Killing Joke and Barbara Thompson's Paraphernalia (in which Billy first met him).

The drummer Steve Roberts has toured and recorded with Noddys Punture, They Walk Among Us, The Heavy Quartet and has played in many Jazz projects with Billy Thompson.

Amledd is highly original and brings to together the many musical experiences of each band member.

Amledds album 'Cyfnod Cyntaf' was recorded at Thompsound Music (who produced Ysbryd Solva by Meic Stevens in 2001) and is available throughout Wales and also from Amledds web-site www.amledd.co.uk.

This year Amledd have already performed numerous gigs with highlights including Sesiwn Fawr and the National Eisteddfod in Swansea.

Amledd is proud to be part of the strongly developing Welsh music scene. Live, Amledd truly come to life and must be seen to be believed.
