Fflur Dafydd

Fflur Dafydd is a short singer songwriter who often needs to be put on a box to reach the microphone. Despite her shortcomings, she has managed to become a prominent Welsh singer songwriter, who has performed in Ireland, Belgium, Croatia, Finland and the United States. She has released three albums, "Coch am Weddill fy Oes." (Red for the rest of my days.) Un Ffordd Mas (One Way Out) and Byd Bach (It's a Small World.) She was recently named the Female Artist of the Year at the Welsh Music Awards 2010.



Although some dispute this, she is in fact the same Fflur Dafydd who writes fiction, although they have been known to appear in separate venues at the same time. Her third novel - Twenty Thousand Saints - won the inaugural Oxfam Hay Emerging Writer of the Year Award 2009 and is published by Alcemi Press .
