“VRï are not just three stunning musicians; they summon up a magic chemistry that is absolutely bewildering, mesmerising and thoroughly addictive."  
 - FolkWales 

Combining three of Wales' most exciting young musicians, VRï have emerged as a band truly intent on smashing musical boundaries and crossing many genres. The fiddles of Aneirin Jones and Patrick Rimes join the cello of Jordan Price Williams and their three voices to create a rich and surprisingly powerful sound. Formed in the summer of 2016, the trio have been in search of the elusive 'chamber-folk' aesthetic ever since. Their debut album ‘Ty Ein Tadau’ has received critical acclaim, winning them ‘Best Traditional Song’ and ‘Best Album’ at the BBC Radio Wales Welsh Folk Awards in 2019, and a nomination for ‘Best Traditional Song’ at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

Forged in slate and small-town angst in the foothills of Eryri by bearded brothers Liam and Siôn Rickard in 2020, Lo-fi Jones weave tales of love and loss in an ever changing landscape. Some highlights from 2023 include winning battle of the folk bands at the National Esiteddfod, performing at Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau and at the Swansea Fringe, competing in the final of Wales's annual Welsh language song competition, Cân i Cymru, and performing in the annual Mari Lwyd celebrations in Dinas Mawddwy. Lo-fi Jones's song "Slag Heap" from thier debut EP, "Llanast Yn Y Llofft" was nominated in the "best original English language song" category in the Welsh folk awards 2023. The band have appeared on S4C's Noson Lawen and have been featured in Y Selar and Fresh on The Net.

Cafodd Lo-fi Jones eu sefydlu yn 2020 gan Liam a Siôn Rickard, dau frawd barfog o Fetws-y-coed. Maent yn plethu straeon o gariad a cholled mewn tirwedd sy'n newid yn barhaus, gan fynd a’r gynulleidfa ar daith lle caiff momentau o addfwynder eu cyfosod â swrealaeth, anarchiaeth, ac awyrgylch parti.

Rhai o'r uchafbwyntiau Lo-fi Jones yn 2023 oedd ennill brwydr y bandiau gwerin yn yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol, perfformio ar Gân i Gymru a Noson Lawen ar s4c), yn ogystal â Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau, Gŵyl Ffrinj Abertawe, a Noson Y Fari Lwyd yn Ninas Mawddwy. Cafodd eu cân "Slag Heap" ei enwebu yn y categori "Cân Saesneg gorau" yn y Gwobrau Gwerin 2023. Mae cerddoriaeth Lo-fi Jones wedi cael ei chynnwys ar gylchgronau ar-lein Y Selar a Fresh on the Net.
