“Each of the artists is highly talented within their discipline; together, they are dynamite. The rapport between them is palpable and the performance is seamless. World-class.”
Clare Potter
In 2014, four Welsh actors and musicians Glenda Clwyd, Phylip Harries, Lowri-Ann Richards and Sean Williams met to share their passion for the words and music of Wales. And so was born a new performance group – Aur Cymru, Welsh Gold.
Joined now by Llinos Daniel, Aur Cymru’s performances are a reverent, nostalgic, bawdy and biting celebration of Wales and Welshness in poetry and music from the sixth century to the present day.

Llinos Daniel trained at Royal Holloway and Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art. As an actor, she has worked extensively in theatre, TV and film throughout the UK
and overseas.

Llinos tours as a soloist and harpist with the Black Mountain Male Chorus of Wales in America. Her album Themes and Dreams of Wales is on Black Mountain Records.
