About Me

Download Brigyn tracks from the iTunes Music Store:

BRIGYN are brothers Ynyr and Eurig Roberts from Snowdonia, Wales.
Since forming the musical movement in 2004, Brigyn have received plentiful airplay and TV appearances within Wales and the UK.
Their sound is a mixture of modern folk music, crafted rhythm loops and lush, expansive orchestral samples. The brothers admit to being influenced by various music ranging from Bjork's electronica, through Simon & Garfunkel's folky sound, to 20th century classical composers.
This unique blend of musical influences has allowed Brigyn to share a stage with artists ranging from world famous tenor Jose Carreras to The Incredible String Band. To date they have performed at The Green Man Festival, Llangollen International Eisteddfod, Small Nations Festival, Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau, and also at popular Welsh language festivals such as Maes B and Gwyl y Faenol (Brynfest).
Following the success of the eponomously titled debut album in 2004, Brigyn released their second album 'Brigyn2' during Autumn 2005. Successful tours of San Francisco and Ireland followed in late 2005 and April 2006 respectively.
A collection of rare songs were released exclusively on iTunes and limited edition vinyl late in 2006 and an unique re-mix concept album ('Ailgylchu') was released in August 2007.
During the last months of 2007, Brigyn embarked on an epic 10-date tour of theatres around Wales, that included an appearance at the Swn Festival. They also became the first ever group to perform at the new 'Milkwood Jam' venue in Swansea.
The eagerly awaited third album 'Brigyn 3' will be released on May 26, 2008.
