The old and the new come together on this album from two of Wales's finest traditional musicians, Cass Meurig and Nial Cain. Deuawd (Duet) brings tunes from deep within the Welah tradition, together with new compositions. With an innovative and unusual approach to their material Cass and Nial combine rare gems of old songs with lively dance tunes and slow airs. Great fiddle playing, the earthy textures of the crwth and wonderful and varied guitar playing, are bound together by Cass's warm and natural voice. As Cass and Nial say: 'Coming from the stark beauty of North Wales and the warmth of shared music around a fireplace, our music is respectful of the tradition and is played from the heart'.
