Folk on Foot

Gwilym Bowen Rhys in Aberdaron

Come for a wild, wet and windy walk on the beach at Aberdaron on the Llyn peninsula in Wales with the singer and songwriter Gwilym Bowen Rhys. Then join us in the local church where  Gwilym demonstrates his musical versatility, accompanying himself on the guitar, fiddle, harmonica and organ and throwing in a whistling solo for good measure. He sings a song about a local shipwreck and shows us the grave of the victims in the churchyard. We learn about local history, Welsh language and culture and Gwilym’s own inspiration in another fascinating episode.---Delve deeper into the Folk on Foot world and keep us on the road by becoming a Patron—sign up at <a href="https://www.patreon.com/folkonfoot">patreon.com/folkonfoot</a>.
