Llio Rhydderch

Llio Rhydderch is a celebrated Welsh triple harpist and traditional musician known for her deep connection to Wales’ cultural heritage. Hailing from Anglesey (Sir Fôn), her music often draws inspiration from the country’s landscapes, legends, and history, as heard in releases like *Carn Ingli* (named after a sacred Pembrokeshire hill) and *Enlli* (Bardsey Island’s Welsh name). A guardian of the triple harp—a symbol of Welsh identity—she blends intricate melodies with storytelling, weaving ancient tales like *Gwenllian* (a medieval princess) and *Melangell* (a patron saint of wildlife) into her work.

With a career spanning traditional festivals and collaborations, Llio’s playing is both technically dazzling and emotionally resonant. Tracks like *Telyn* (“harp” in Welsh) and *Sir Fôn Bach* showcase her ability to breathe new life into folk traditions while honoring their roots. Whether performing solo or with ensembles, her music feels like a heartfelt love letter to Wales’ natural beauty and enduring myths.
