Since 2016, VRï have been delivering foot-stomping dance tunes whilst maintaining the poise and elegance of a string ensemble. Powerful three-part harmonies, stunning fiddle and the unusual addition of cello forge VRï’s totally unique sound. Jordan Price Williams (cello), Aneirin Jones (violin) and Patrick Rimes (viola, violin) have mined the cultural upheaval of past centuries and drawn inspiration from a time when Wales’ traditional music and dance was suppressed by Methodist chapels and its language by the Act of Union. Performed with technical finesse and great warmth, their music tells of the struggles and lives of people who lived 200 years ago. Seizing the remaining strands of subsumed tradition and music, VRï blends them into a joyous celebration of Welsh identity and a contemporary rediscovery of lost traditions. VRï’s 2019 debut album Ty Ein Tadau (House Of Our Fathers) received a 5* review in Songlines magazine and numerous accolades including Winners of Best Traditional Song in the Welsh Language and Winners of Best Album (Wales Folk Awards 2019) and a nominee for Best Traditional Track in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
