Rhys Meilyr - Rhys Meilyr

The wonderful voice you hear on this album belongs to an 11 year old first year pupil at Ysgol Gyfun Llangefni on the isle of Anglesey. Rhys Meilyr has emerged over the last few years as one of the brightest young singing stars in this country where singing is very much a part of the culture. He has competed from a very early age at local eisteddfodau, and at the 2010 Glyn Ebwy National Eisteddfod he reached an unique pinnacle by achieving a hat-trick - first on the solo, first on the folk song solo and first on the cerdd dant solo under 12 years old. Rhys Meilyr has the potential to be a star of the future long after his voice changes.
