Two of Wales' finest musicians have combined to record this album of Welsh language songs, simply arranged for guitar & voice. Julie Murphy, singer with leading Welsh traditional group Fernhill, is regarded internationally as one of Britain's finest folk singers. She has also recently collaborated with John Cale on music for the film "Beautiful Mistake", and sung a duet with Robert Plant on the new Afro Celt Sound System album.

Dylan Fowler is an acclaimed guitarist who has worked with many of Britain's finest jazz & folk musicians, including Danny Thompson, Richard Thompson, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Tina May & Jonathan Gee.

This album was suggested by performances with young fado star Camane, in Portugal, where traditional Welsh repertoire was being re-presented to a modern audience. The title Ffawd (fate) acknowledges this initial inspiration.

Julie Murphy : "a gorgeously soulful singer" The Guardian
Dylan Fowler : "sublime guitar playing" BBC Radio 3
