DESCRIPTION
The music of Jamie Smith's Mabon is well described as Original, Interceltic, World Music. Composed by frontman Jamie Smith, and brought to life by five highly accomplished musicians, it draws inspiration directly from the traditional folk music of the Celtic countries. This is not Welsh music, nor Scottish or Irish; this is Interceltic music, a true exploration of forms and styles found in Celtic music and their forging into something bold and new. Through a myriad of twists and turns, from thoughtful lyrics to joyful jigs, graceful mazurka to ecstatic muiñera, here is a band that can take you on an emotional journey: expect to witness the joy of creating music expressed in dynamic, virtuosic performance. Stand by for infectious, life-affirming music by the spade full! [The band is well used to playing in small venues and on small stages - they continue to perform for rural touring schemes across the UK - and they keep their technical requirements simple in these settings.] “They are easily one of the best of the UK’s folk bands.......driving rhythms and an irrepressible stage presence.” worldmusic.co.uk “Both fur coat and knickers. Uplifting, energetic and cerebral in equal measures” FRoots “ epic” Guardian “a fearsome reputation as a live band… stratospheric” Financial Times
DESCRIPTION
Disgrifir cerddoriaeth Jamie Smith's Mabon fel cerddoriaeth byd, rhyng-Geltaidd, wreiddiol. Wedi ei chyfansoddi gan Jamie Smith, a’i dehongli gan chwech o gerddorion medrus, mae'n cael ei hysbrydoli gan gerddoriaeth werin draddodiadol y gwledydd Celtaidd. Nid cerddoriaeth Gymreig mohoni, nac Albaneg na Gwyddelig; dyma gerddoriaeth rhyng-Geltaidd sy’n arbrofi gyda ffurfiau a moddau cerddoriaeth Celtaidd a’u ffurfio’n rhywbeth newydd, beiddgar. Mae cyfansoddiadau uchelgeisiol Jamie wedi eu gwreiddio mewn adnabyddiaeth gadarn o gerddoriaeth dawns gwerin ac ar reddf greadigol a dychymyg wedi ei ysbrydoli, ond heb ei gyfyngu, gan draddodiad. Mae ei archwaeth am, a’i ddealltwriaeth o donau gwerin yn amlwg drwy sain Jamie Smith's Mabon, o’r dewis o ddefnydd – lle mae jigs a reels yn cyd-fyw â ffurfiau dawns eraill perthnasol fel an dro Llydewig, mazurka Ffrengig a muiñera o Galicia – hyd at yr addurniadau a’r amrywiadau manwl sy’n rhoi’r cymeriad dilys i’r tonau. Yn fwy na dim, agwedd emosiynol y gerddoriaeth draddodiadol mae Jamie’n ceisio cynnwys yn ei waith ei hun; y tristwch, y llawenydd ac yn fwyaf oll yr egni pur sydd wrth wraidd y genre yma o gerddoriaeth. O dan ei enw blaenorol "Mabon", mae'r band wedi cynrychioli Cymru mewn dros bymtheg gwlad gwahanol ledled y byd. Arweinir y band chwe-llawn aelod gan Jamie ar yr accordion, Oliver Wilson-Dickson ar y ffidil (Ian McMillan Orchestra, Tea Hodzic Trio), ond gall y band hyblyg hwn addasu ei faint ar gyfer llwyfan neu gyllid llai.
