ELIN AND CARYS

The Welsh folk duo Elin and Carys are sisters from Montgomeryshire, and their close airy harmonies, their original songs, and their inventive arrangements draw on their musical upbringing and the landscapes of Mid Wales. Combining Elin's songwriting with Carys' classical training and their shared love of traditional material, the sisters weave guitar, piano, banjo, fiddle, accordion and whistles into their performances.

They were the winners of the Battle of the Folk Bands at the National Eisteddfod 2025. They have supported leading Welsh artists, represented Wales at the Celtic Ban Festival, played at the Green Man Festival and are currently recording their first EP.
