9Bach in session

Kathryn Tickell presents a live studio session with Welsh alternative folk band 9Bach.

Kathryn Tickell presents a live studio session with Welsh alternative folk band 9Bach.

Formed in 2005 by singer-songwriter and pianist Lisa Jên and guitarist Martin Hoyland, 9Bach have release three albums on Peter Gabriel's Real World Records. Currently touring their third album, Anian ("nature"), they join us in the studio ahead of a special co-headline show (with the Moulettes) at Cadogan Hall on the 8th December. Their music is an atmospheric and evocative mix of Welsh folk tradition and contemporary influences.

And the name? Nothing to do with a certain baroque composer and in fact a play on words; 9 is as in Nain, (pronounced nine), which means grandmother in North Wales and 'Bach' means little and is a term of endearment in Welsh.
