“VRï is where Welsh craft and heart meet” Michael Sheen
Two-time winners of Best Album at the Welsh Folk Awards, VRï are Jordan Price Williams (cello, voice), Aneirin Jones (violin, voice) and Patrick Rimes (viola, violin, voice). This spring the trio head to Dorset for three concerts as part of the new programme by Dorset’s arts charity, Artsreach.
“They play – and sing – with the exuberance of a folk band, but possess the exquisite musicality and elegance of a chamber string ensemble” Songlines
Inspired by the incredible story of a time when Wales’ traditional music and dance were suppressed by Methodist chapels and, earlier, its language by the Act of Union, VRï shed new light on a vibrant folk tradition. Their music harnesses the raw energy of the fiddle with the finesse of the violin, and the beauty of chamber music with the joy and hedonism of a pub session, all underpinned by powerful vocal harmonies.
“Beautiful music” Sir Stephen Fry
