Ryland Teifi - Man Rhydd

Welsh singer-songwriter Ryland Teifi releases a brand new collection of songs recorded in Ireland with producer Graham Clancy. This is his fourth album and includes songs sung in his native tongue, Welsh as well as English songs. His debut album Heno released in 2005 along with subsequent albums received critical praise both in the UK and in the States. Ryland admits that music, and folk music in particular, has always been in his blood. His father was a folk singer who ran his own folk club and therefore Ryland was influenced by a home filled with music - from local Welsh musicians to records by Nat King Cole and Johnny Cash. His marriage to fellow musician, Roisin Clancy, daughter of the late Bobby Clancy of the Clancy brothers, brought a further Celtic influence to his music. Ryland and his family now call Ring in County Wexford, Ireland their home and Man Rhydd was recorded by Graham Clancy in Clancy House Studios, Ireland.
