ALLAN YN Y FAN
Steam Pie Presents: Allan Yn Y Fan - PWNCO TOUR
Allan Yn Y Fan is a multi-instrumental and vocal quintet as famed now for “their beautiful vocals” as for their “fiery instrumentals.” On this tour Allan Yn Y Fan will be playing a selection of songs and tunes which make up their brand new album “Pwnco”.
This concert will feature the band’s interpretations of some further gems from the Welsh storehouse of traditional music and song along with a number of the band’s own compositions. The title of this tour and the album comes from a new tune interpolated into one of the key songs on the album “Canu Cwnsela” which relates to the battle of wits played out within the Mari Lwyd tradition designed to reward the players with food and drink.
Allan Yn Y Fan will reward their audiences with a concert that will range from contemplative and moving songs of life and love to uproarious selections of jigs, reels and polkas.
“The most sensitive and experienced of Welsh bands…….the rate at which Allan Yn Y Fan has gone from being just another instrumental Celtic outfit to front-runners is nothing short of astonishing” Simon Jones fROOTS magazine June 2011
