  • Description

    Described by Songlines magazine as a "Welsh super-group", ALAW is three leading musicians who bring a wealth of experience to a shared passion for the traditional music of Wales.

    Nia Lynn's exceptional voice and harmonium dance with the dazzling fiddle of Oli Wilson-Dickson, interwoven with Dylan Fowler's sparkling guitar playing.

    Drawn to the Light, was recorded during lockdown – when local restrictions allowed the band were able to meet – where all three experienced instant excitement around ideas they were debating and the music they were creating – Nia's aptitude not just for the song – but tunes as well inspired Oli to write new tunes for the "new" line-up, which, along with the entire ALAW back catalogue, Nia set about learning - (her neighbours banging on the walls on the while) – it was the songs though where things really took off.

    Drawn to the Light – is a re-emergence from lockdown – it's about playing to an audience. The album and the audience represent the light…….at the end of the tunnel.
