“The Folk-Jazz Revival is most definitely on.” UNCUT Magazine
Awen, meaning ‘poetic inspiration’ in Welsh, outlines the intention of the band’s music to explore folkloric heritage, landscape and the human mind, inspiring audiences to reflect on and connect with these subjects.
Playing both vocal led and instrumental work, the outfit take inspiration from modal tradition, spiritual jazz, and folk music found across the globe, creating compositions that are melodically focused and groove driven.
The band’s line-up is: Amy Clark Vocals; Emyr Penry Dance Trumpet / Flugel; Saul Duff Tenor Saxophone; Ruari Graham Guitars; Glen Leach Fender Rhodes; Joe Wilkes Upright Bass; Eddie Bowes Drums / Bodhrán
Featuring spoken word, shimmering instrumentation and a Celtic mystique, Awen Ensemble bring a unique offering to the jazz table.
