Biography
Môr Gwyddelig, pronounced "MOR wee-THEY-lig", is the Welsh-language name for the Irish Sea -- the body of water which stretches from the Hebrides to Tintagel, and from Wales to Ireland. The band Môr Gwyddelig consists of two members: Myra Hope Bobbitt, a Welsh-American who writes in English and Welsh and plays a nylon-strung Celtic folk harp; and Caera Aislingeach, a Scottish- and Irish-American who sings in all three Gaelic languages (Irish, Scottish, and Manx), and plays a clairseach, a brass-strung medieval-style Gaelic harp. Together they have recorded and played medieval European music, traditional Celtic music from almost all of the Celtic nations, and original music they have both written, in Welsh and Irish as well as in English.
