Bluegrass, from Wales

Taff Rapids are Cardiff’s bluegrass sensation, delivering a high-energy fusion of original bluegrass songwriting, driving instrumentation, and a distinctly Welsh twist. Singing with both English and Welsh lyrics with tight harmonies and instrumental firepower, the band - Darren Eedens, Siôn Russell Jones, David Grubb, and Clem Saynor - have carved out their own corner of the genre with their signature Blŵgras sound.

The band’s international profile has risen rapidly. They have officially showcased at IBMA World of Bluegrass (USA) - the first Welsh act to take part - and Folk Alliance International (Canada), building strong momentum across North America. Their European presence has expanded in parallel, with performances at major festivals including Festival Interceltique de Lorient, Green Man, Purbeck Valley Folk Festival, Sesiwn Fawr, La Roche, Rotterdam, Beardy Folk Festival, Fire in the Mountain, The Magpies Festival, and many more across the UK and EU. Their dynamic live show - rooted in tradition but unmistakably their own - has helped establish them as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging live folk acts.
