The Gentle Good - Gwylanod Esgyll Duon (originally Blackfin Gulls by Kristin McClement)

A song about the refugee crisis, the tragic situation in the Mediterranean sea and the shamefully inadequate response of our political leaders. Proceeds to Oasis Cardiff, which provides services for refugees and asylum seekers in the city. Taken from the album Ruins/Adfeilion, which is out now.

Inspired by nearly forgotten Welsh melodies and the brilliant music of the 60s folk revival, The Gentle Good is the work of Cardiff based folk singin’ finger-picker Gareth Bonello. Singing in both English and Welsh Gareth weaves dark folk tales around an intricate guitar style and a haunting voice to create beautiful modern folk music tinted with psychadelia.

A captivating live performer Gareth can enchant an audience with just a guitar, and has played to audiences at home and abroad at festivals such as Glastonbury, Latitude, The Green Man, End of the Road, The Smithsonian Folklife Festival, Lorient Interceltique and South by Southwest.

The Second album 'Tethered for the Storm' has already begun to stir up interest ahead of its release this March. Previous release 'While you slept I went out Walking' saw comparisons with the music of Nick Drake, Martin Carthy, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, John Martyn and Donovan by the likes of Mojo and the Guardian.

Praise for Tethered for the Storm:

“Folk Beauty”  - Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1)

“Breathtaking, ****” Mojo

“Folk genius” The 405
