plu

For their latest album ‘Tri’, Welsh trio Plu broadened their soundstage, bringing a beautiful nuanced depth to their music. It’s an understated joy and one of the best albums I’ve heard this year.

The collaboration between Colorama and Plu has clearly been fruitful and it’s to be hoped that there’s more to come from the quartet. Bendith offers a beguiling mix of sounds and styles, effortlessly crossing musical borders to produce something as fresh and breezy as a warm summer’s day.

Plu have created something very special with this understated gem of a record; it’s a compelling album from start to finish, which reaffirms their richly deserved place in the forefront of the vibrant and flourishing Welsh folk music scene.

In a new project titled Beyond The Marches / Dros y Ffin, some of our finest contemporary folk musicians will be exploring and celebrating in the shared history and culture of two nations, England and Wales. Feat: Lucy Ward, David Gibb, Elan Rhys, Patrick Rimes, Georgia Ruth and Archie Churchill-Moss. Over the coming week FRUK will be bringing you a unique insight.
