"Carreg Lafar treat Welsh traditional material with a freshness and a skill that deserves to be heard far and wide." fROOTS

Carreg Lafar means 'speaking stone', an echo stone. Active in the Welsh traditional music scene for 20 years, we've changed many peoples' view of traditional Welsh music with our passionate and lively performances. Through a mix of traditional and original music, Carreg Lafar presents a vibrant spirit whilst remaining rooted in the language and living tradition of Welsh song and dance music.

We've made three albums with Sain records and a new EP in 2013. The band has toured North America five times and performed at venues and festivals in the UK and Europe including Celtic Connections, Festival Interceltique de Lorient, Gooikoorts, Festival Interceltico de Aviles and Piping Live!

We are releasing a new CD in 2015, with a view to performing and touring in 2015 and 2016.
