Pendragon Dreaming is a
Welsh-language folk group based in Melbourne, Australia. Pendragon (meaning head or chief dragon) is the
name given to the Welsh kings of old and in particular to Arthur Pendragon; greatest King
of the Ancient Celtic Britons.
The use of `Dreaming' in the group's
name is an acknowledgement of the Australian connection with the inclusion of the
didgeridoo.
Harp, flute, violin, acoustic guitar
and bass guitar complete the line-up and the group play traditional Welsh songs and tunes
as well as some more modern pieces.
The result is a base of traditional
Welsh melodies and singing styles as well as an infusion of contemporary sounds and
rhythms. |
