Take a trip on the panoramic "Celtic Journey". Like a swan gliding gracefully across the waters of "Llyn Y Fan". Walk on the wild and windy shores of "Cefn Sidan" or become a monk for a day at "Machynys" (Monks Island)"

Whatever impressions you get from the atmospheric yet melodic music of Telyneg, there is no doubt that this original instrumental music is definitely 21st century Celtic. However, Telyneg's music still successfully evokes the myths and legends of the Welsh and Celtic people and their heritage, whilst remaining fresh and modern.

Celtic Music - Form, Melody and Rhythm
The musical skills of Robert (a wind specialist) and Paul (a guitar specialist) successfully complement each other on these complex, weaving arrangements which, like a Celtic knot, still retain a strong sense of form with memorable melodic passages. These are held together by their keyboard/synthesizer arrangements and strong sense of rhythm using liberal doses of drums and percussion.

Telyneg's pioneering past
Telyneg has a long musical association from founding members and music arrangers of the pioneering 70's and 80's Celtic folk band "Carraig Aonair", through "Ji-Binc", writing music for BBC television plays including "Rita", producing on albums for Gwerin Records, and on to the "Telyneg" project.

Telyneg is a Gaelic work that means "Lyric"
