Taliesin Arts Centre welcomes Calan on Thursday, November 12, with a show forming part of their UK winter tour.
Fiddles, guitar, accordion, bagpipes and step dancing explode into life as Calan perform songs and tunes from their new album-Dinas.
Infectious guitar rhythms and high voltage routines give way to beautiful and haunting songs. Amongst the traditional Welsh melodies and brand new original material, they breathe fire into the folk tale of Merlin and The Two Dragons: A song that tells the story of why there is a dragon on the Welsh flag.
The group, who have raised some eyebrows with a deliberate policy of eye-catching clothes and presentation, despite the ancient roots of their music, see themselves as a new generation of ambassadors, striving to take their new sound to new audiences, while raising the profile of Welsh traditional music on an international level.
You can hear Calan’s music and find out more about them at their website www.calan-band.com
Tickets for Calan are available now from the Taliesin box office and also online from the website www.taliesinartscentre.co.uk. Tickets are priced at £12.
