Steffan Lloyd Owen, Adra'n Ol Sain SCD

Steffan Lloyd Owen, Adra’n Ôl

This album was produced by Osian Huw Williams, who also contributed instrumentally to the album, together with Annette Bryn Parri on piano, Gruffydd Wyn on vocals, Dylan Cernyw on harp and vocal party Hogia Llanbobman.

The album contains a vast rage of musical genres and the songs take us on a journey from the joyous to the plaintive through to the tender and powerful, through works by Schubert and Rossini to Welsh favourites by composers such as Gareth Glyn, Robat Arwyn and R S Hughes.

The album’s track title is a Welsh version, by Caryl Bryn, of the song ‘Homeward Bound’. Through his assured and confident performance, his lyrical and emotive singing and the richness and maturity of his voice, this album confirms Steffan as one of Wales’ most impressive and talented young singers.

Steffan dedicates this album in memory of his late mother, Susan Jane Owen.
