TAITH

A unique collaboration that explores the richness of traditional music from Wales and Finland. It is also an opportunity to create new compositions that draw on the distinctive landscapes of both countries. It is music that expresses both inner and outer landscapes and touches the souls of those who hear it. Timo Väänänen (Kantele), Gillian Stevens (Viols/Crwth) and Dylan Fowler (Guitars/Clarinet) are acknowledged masters of their instruments and have come together as 'Taith' (journey in the Welsh language).

The initial idea came when Timo and Dylan were both involved in the 'Music of the Northlands' project of 2002 which brought together select musicians from Scandinavia and the UK. The project toured throughout Scandinavia and the UK and was highly successfull. 'Taith' have already made two prestigious appearances on both the BBC in London (Live Broadcast BBC radio 3) and on YLE Radio 1, Helsinki (recording and interview) as well as a number of concerts.
