Amledd brings together the talents of Singer/Songwriter Rhian Williams (formerly from the band UST) and violinist/producer Billy Thompson. The two started writing and recording together in 2003 and thus Amledd was born. Rhian Williams hails from Bala, North Wales and has been writing songs and poetry for many years. Billy met Rhian whilst she was performing with Huw Symonds of Llanuwchllyn. Billy Thompson is best known in Wales for his recordings and performances with The Amigos and also with Welsh legend Meic Stevens. Billy can also be heard on numerous sessions including those with Alun Tan Lan (Aderyn Papur), Mim Twm Llai (his 3rd album), Sian James (Y Ferch O Bedlam), Heather Jones, Jim Rowlands and Delwyn Sion.

Amledd’s album – Cyfnod Cyntaf – was recorded by Thompsound Music (who also produced ‘Ysbryd Solva’ by Meic Stevens in 2001) and is available throughout Wales and also from Amledd’s web-site
