NIEM...Welsh Band Cymraeg...Funky RnB Celtic Pop!

About Me

Siblings, Nia and Emyr founded the group back in 2003. Their music is a fusion of funk, pop, rnb and celtic. The word Niem means "remember fondly" in the Chinese language. It just so happens that it can also be found in the names Nia and Emyr! Their debut album was released last summer and the album's title 'Llyfre Ffug' (Fake Books) comes from the lyrics of a song called 'Hela Cariad', featured on the album. Check out the official Niem site to purchase the album!
