The Gentle Good

THE GENTLE GOOD // CWRW

We’re excited to announce the return of The Gentle Good to CWRW – this time for a full band show! The moniker of Cardiff-based songwriter Gareth Bonello, The Gentle Good’s latest album ‘Elan’ has been shortlisted for this year’s Welsh Music Prize.

New album ‘Elan’ is a psychedelic portrait of the Elan Valley in Powys, Wales. It was written during a year-long residency in the Cambrian Mountains and explores the landscape, history and politics of the valley, which was flooded at the end of the Victorian era to create a series of reservoirs for drinking water. The album features a full band, synths and strings and draws on folk-rock, psych and pop influences to invoke the dramatic landscapes of Elan.

A captivating performer, Gareth has performed all over the world, from the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington DC to the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing. He has toured extensively in the UK, performing at prominent festivals such as Glastonbury, The Green Man, Latitude and Cambridge Folk. His recent works include the solo guitar and vocal album Galargan, a stripped-back exploration of Welsh folk song that garnered a rare 5\* review in the Guardian.
