With a contemporary and lively approach they breathe new life into the old traditions through their sparkling melodies\, foot tapping tunes and spirited and energetic performances of Welsh step dancing. \nThey blast their way through some of the old favourite reels\, jigs and hornpipes with fast paced and uplifting arrangements before melting into some of the most beautiful and haunting songs. \nFollowing the release of their debut album\, ‘Bling’ in 2008\, which attracted four star responses from the critics\, the five-piece have been playing to big audiences and rave reviews at concerts and festivals around Britain and Europe\, including the coveted Cambridge Festival; Celtic Connections\, Glasgow; Shrewsbury Folk Festival; Moseley Folk Festival; Derby Folk Festival; Bromyard Folk Festival\, Whitby Folk Festival a concert tour of Italy\, Austria and Belgium along with a number of performances at the Festival Interceltique de Lorient\, Brittany\, where they’ve received the award for the best group. \nThe group\, who’ve 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. \nWith their unique instrumental blend fiddles\, whistles\, guitar and bagpipes and a traditional reed instrument from Wales called a pibgorn made from a wooden pipe and the horns of a bull. Great fun\, a sense of humour and step dancing from a champion dancer who dances in a style unique to Wales. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=678s_J2M1mM \nThey have introduced a new generation of music fans to Welsh traditional music – in Wales and beyond. Audiences in Belgium\, Italy and France as well as all over the UK have given them a terrific reception they are now on their fourth tour of North America. \nThe band began by busking in the streets of Cardiff raising money to pay for university fees. By 2015 they were performing alongside Bryn Terfel and Sting at the Royal Albert Hall in London as part of Bryn Terfel’s 50th birthday party. \nhttp://www.calan-band.com
