Gwildor - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Gwildor are from Wrexham, north Wales. We could be described as 'folk' in the sense that our songs often tell 'tall tales' of sinking ships and preachers etc.

Some of us like to escape to the west Wales coast as often as possible. You can't beat the sea-air for a bit of inspiration!
We are a friendly bunch, so feel free to get in touch.

Our debut album 'Tales from a town' is available now:

'Tales from a town' is also available through our website + all good music stores.
