TICKETS: www.good-show.co.uk/events/1765Forged in slate and small-town angst in the foothills of Eryri by bearded brothers, Liam and Siôn Rickard, Lo-fi Jones weave tales of love and loss in an ever changing landscape. With lyrics in both Welsh and English, and their heady mix of folk, tragi-comic pop and indi-Gymreig, Lo-fi Jones like to take audiences on a journey, where moments of gentleness are juxtoposed with surrealism, anarchy, and a party atmosphere.
Some of Lo-fi Jones's highlights so far have been winning Battle of The Folk Bands at the National Eisteddfod (2023), performing in the final of Cân i Gymru (2023), Seswin Fawr Dolgellau (2023), The Swansea Fringe (2023), Behind The Barn Festival (2023), Folk on the Lawn (2023), the Mari Lwyd cellebrations in Dinas Mawddwy (2023), Fire In The Mountain Festival (2022) and Gwyl Y Pethau Bychain (2022). The band have performed twice on Noson Lawn for S4C. In 2022, they released their debut EP, Llanast Yn Y Llofft (a mess in the bedroom). Most of the songs on the EP have been broadcast on BBC Radio Cymru, and several have been played on Radio Wales. "Slag Heap" from the EP was nomiated in the "best original English language song" category in the Welsh Folk Awards 2023. In 2021, the band collaborated with Catrin Toffoc and Irfan Rais on the folk song "Ble'r Wyt Ti'n Myned?". The band have been featured in Welsh online music magazine, Y Selar, and UK music blog, Fresh on the Net.
In 2024, Lo-fi Jones were awarded Horizons Launchpad Funding by BBC Cymru Wales and the Arts Council of Wales.
