Huw M

Huw M is Welsh composer and performer Huw Meredydd Roberts who plays a mix of original melodies and borrowed folk songs, mangled together with influences from across the globe, to create haunting, intelligent music. He is joined by Lucy Simmonds on cello and vocals, Bethan Mai on accordion and vocals and Iolo Whelan on drums, percussion and vocals.

For his third album, Utica, Huw has been working with The Marshall Sisters from Cardiff to blend early gospel with Welsh folk, and a good dollop of poignancy, melancholy and heartbreak. Through borrowed songs and magical, timeless original compositions, the everlasting topics of sorrow and ‘hiraeth’ (Welsh for ‘longing’) are reborn once again.

Stuart Maconie on BBC 6 Music referred to Huw M’s first single as a “Stunningly beautiful piece of music”. His first two albums received glowing reviews and widespread support by the likes of Marc Riley, Huw Stephens and Gideon Coe; his second album, Gathering Dusk, was also short-listed for the Welsh Music Prize.

Huw M has previously released two albums on the Gwymon label, ‘Os Mewn Sŵn’ and ‘Gathering Dusk’.
