Carwyn Ellis

A Word With Carwyn Ellis is an eclectic treat. This is our themed fortnightly show where Carwyn plays two hours of songs from across genres and eras – as long as they all contain a certain word in the title.

Carwyn Ellis is an acclaimed singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer from Wales who performs and releases music both in his own right (with Rio 18 and Colorama) and as a sideman with artists as diverse as the Pretenders, Edwyn Collins, Oasis, Saint Etienne, Quruli, North Mississippi Allstars and the Master Musicians of Joujouka.
