The three-piece from the shores of the Irish Sea in north Pembrokeshire take inspiration from the 60s\u2019 British Invasion bands and American Surf Rock but also from the swagger of Britpop and the angst of grunge. Their tight interplay underpins stories of love and lust, of youthful follies, jealousy and joy, sung with a sincerity gifted to those raised in the middle of nowhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tentatively poised on a precarious ridge somewhere between the valleys of folk and chamber pop, Chwaer\u2019s sound has developed over the past year into a behemoth of deep, confident harmonies, rolling drums and powerful piano. Dueting in a way only sisters can, with the angst that only teenage lives can muster, their piano driven epics are visceral, moving pieces, thanks in part to their sincere, heartfelt delivery, buoyed by their, and their band\u2019s skilled musicianship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since releasing their debut single\u00a0\u2018Paid Troi Dy Gefn\u2019, the sisters\u00a0Emma and Lucy\u00a0have played a score of support slots around Wales, and in 2026 will appear at G\u0175yl Fel \u2018Na Mai and Eisteddfod Y Garreg Las after winning the yearly Richard and Wyn Memorial Award. Their debut EP will be released later in 2026 on Fflach Cymunedol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Venue<\/td><td>Date<\/td><td>Time<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Theatr Gwaun<\/td><td>Saturday September 26th<\/td><td>7:30pm<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns20352_86fc3a-14, .site .entry-content .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns20352_86fc3a-14, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns20352_86fc3a-14, .site .entry-content .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns20352_86fc3a-14{margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns20352_86fc3a-14{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns20352_86fc3a-14 .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns20352_86fc3a-14 .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns20352_86fc3a-14 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:#555555;border-color:#555555;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns20352_86fc3a-14 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns20352_86fc3a-14 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#ffffff;border-color:#444444;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns20352_86fc3a-14 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns20352_86fc3a-14 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns20352_86fc3a-14 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns20352_86fc3a-14\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn20352_6359f8-6b.kb-button{width:initial;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn20352_6359f8-6b.kb-button{border-top-left-radius:73px;border-top-right-radius:73px;border-bottom-right-radius:73px;border-bottom-left-radius:73px;}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn20352_6359f8-6b kt-btn-size-large kt-btn-width-type-auto kb-btn-global-outline kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false wp-block-kadence-singlebtn\" href=\"https:\/\/theatrgwaun.savoysystems.co.uk\/TheatrGwaun.dll\/TSelectItems.waSelectItemsPrompt.TcsWebMenuItem_551.TcsWebTab_552.TcsPerformance_1291001.TcsSection_737\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">Tickets\/Tocynnau<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lleoliad:\u00a0Theatr Gwaun<br \/>\nDyddiad: Dydd Sadwrn Medi 26ain<br \/>\nAmser:\u00a07:30yh<\/p>\n<p>Mae prif gig cerddoriaeth eleni yn Theatr Gwaun yn gweld rhestr anhygoel o dalent leol o Gymru gyda dau o s\u00ear sy'n dod i'r amlwg yn y s\u00een gerddoriaeth Gymreig, Lafant a Chwaer.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":20345,"template":"","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[16],"class_list":["post-20352","ole_events_2026","type-ole_events_2026","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ar-ymyl-y-tir-2026-on-lands-edge","tag-saturday"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":14,"label":"Ar Ymyl y Tir 2026 On Land\u2019s Edge"}],"post_tag":[{"value":16,"label":"Saturday"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/onlandsedge.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/TG-web-700px-OLE26-Music-1024x1024.jpg",1024,1024,true],"author_info":[],"comment_info":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlandsedge.co.uk\/cy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ole_events_2026\/20352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlandsedge.co.uk\/cy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ole_events_2026"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlandsedge.co.uk\/cy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ole_events_2026"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlandsedge.co.uk\/cy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlandsedge.co.uk\/cy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlandsedge.co.uk\/cy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlandsedge.co.uk\/cy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
