The Joy Formidable
Saturday at 16:00
Main Stage
The Joy Formidable, Ritzy Bryan, Rhydian Dafydd and Matt Thomas, have thrived on the live front. Their material still has its roots in the vast, lonely countryside of the Clwydian borders but London has roused offshoots from the The Joy Formidable bough.
They have become a uniquely home-grown affair with the band driving every creative aspect, visually and musically. The band’s bedroom a chrysalis, that mutates daily from sleeping quarters, to studio to workshop. It was here they recorded first singles Austere and Cradle and their 8 track CD A Balloon called Moaning - a defiant release of optimism against their own heavy hearts.
