Siân James
James returns to her Welsh roots with this totally acoustic, non-overdubbed collection of traditional melodies. She has a light, subtle touch on the harp that is just right for these contemplative songs. Her voice has a theatricality informed by her experience as an actor, but it rarely goes over the top dramatically. She sings mostly in Welsh with a pure tone and a practiced phrasing that is just short of stagy. She delivers the sprightly "Dacw Nghariad (There is My Sweetheart)" with all the gusto of a good storyteller.
