Cass Meurig is a widely acclaimed fiddle and crwth player specialising in traditional Welsh folk music. She is a member of Welsh bands Fernhill and Pigyn Clust and appears with Esyllt Harker in the storytelling and song show 'Ganthrig Bwt'.

The world's first solo recording of crwth music. The Crwth is a rediscovered ancient Welsh instrument - more of a violin than a guitar, but which can be bowed, plucked or strummed, and produces normally a modal drone-based sound.

This Cass Meurig's debut solo album is produced by Ceri Rhys Matthews and features guest musicians Nigel Eaton on hurdy-gurdy and Bob Evans on crwth. This album delves deep into the Welsh musical tradition combining traditional tunes with new compositions. Earthy yet tender, the rich textures of the crwth create an atmospheric and profound listening experience. From the forgotten soundworld of medieval Wales, through the creative hands of one of Wales's finest traditional musicians - this is music for the soul.
