Welsh folk multi-instrumentalist Gareth Bonello (from The Gentle Good) will travel to Chengdu (South West China), the capital of the Sichuan province. Bonello, who was nominated for this residency by BBC DJ Huw Stephens, will work with local folk instrumentalists on material for a new album.
About his residency in Chengdu, Gareth told us, “I feel very privileged to be presented with this wonderful opportunity to explore the folk music and traditions of South-West China. I am particularly looking forward to collaborating with local writers and musicians to create new music inspired by both Welsh and Chinese culture.”
