Bio
21st century Welsh roots music welding the raw beauty of the traditional songs and ballads of Wales onto an accordion fuelled rhythm section.
Lead singer, Sioned Camlin hails from the Banw Valley in Montgomeryshire, Mid-Wales. Her first language is Welsh.
At the age of 14, having studied drums and percussion under veteran Welsh rocker, Gwyn "Maffia" Jones, Sioned and a bunch of school-friends formed the prog-rock band, Strap The Button. This band continued through high school and beyond. They released three professionally recorded CDs and performed at many festivals and venues.
In 2009 Sioned learned to play her songs on the ukelele and formed the band, Parti Gungrog with Clovis Phillips (bass) and Rees Wesson (accordion)
She is also a member of Joe le Taxi - the No.1 UK Zydeco band.
"Burning Issues" - County Times.
"Mesmerising" - Mid-Wales Arts Centre.
"Well Moody" - Harriet Bartlett.
Gungrog (pronounced Gun-Grog), near Welshpool, Montgomeryshire, formerly spelt Gwngrog. According to an excellent Welsh authority, Gwngrog is an abbreviation of Gwaun-y-Grog, meaning “the meadow of the gibbet”.
