The Gentle Good and Ivan Moult

Join us for what will not doubt be a very special evening featuring two amazing artists, The Gentle Good (Gareth Bonello) and Ivan Moult.

The Gentle Good

The Gentle Good is the moniker of Cardiff-based musician and songwriter Gareth Bonello. Gareth is known for his enchanting melodies, intricate guitar style and beautiful acoustic arrangements. As a former winner of both the Welsh Language Album of the Year and the Welsh Music Prize, Gareth has long been a prominent musician on the Welsh music scene.

The Gentle Good's new album 'Elan' is a psychedelic portrait of the Elan Valley in Powys, Wales. It was written during a year-long residency in the Cambrian Mountains and explores the landscape, history and politics of the valley, which was flooded at the end of the Victorian era to create a series of reservoirs for drinking water. The album features a full band, synths and strings and draws on folk-rock, psych and pop influences to invoke the dramatic landscapes of Elan.

A captivating performer, Gareth has performed all over the world, from the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington DC to the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing. He has toured extensively in the UK, performing at prominent festivals such as Glastonbury, The Green Man, Latitude and Cambridge Folk. His recent works include the solo guitar and vocal album Galargan, a stripped-back exploration of Welsh folk song that garnered a rare 5* review in the Guardian.

In recent years Gareth has become a highly regarded musical collaborator, having worked extensively with artists from China and India. His award winning album Y Bardd Anfarwol (2013) broke new ground with its unique combination of Welsh-language storyteling and Chinese traditional music. He is a founder member of the acclaimed Khasi-Cymru Collective with artists from the indigenous Khasi communities of Northeast India. Closer to home, in 2025 Gareth worked with the Welsh National Opera and the UK fishing community to compose new classical pieces for the Sea Interludes project.

Ivan Moult

Cardiff-based folk singer songwriter Ivan Moult is set to perform his new album Stood Out In The Storm - his most personal work yet. Audiences can expect the intimate, carefully crafted sound Ivan is known for – a seamless blend of 60s/70s folk and blues shaped by influences such as John Martyn, Terry Reid and Ry Cooder. The new album, released in November 2025, follows the acclaimed Songs From Severn Grove (2023), which earned praise for its warmth, intricacy and timeless songwriting. While that record captured renewal and early fatherhood, this new collection of songs takes a braver and more vulnerable step, written in the aftermath of a personal crisis and tracing a gradual journey toward healing.

Having earned support from Guy Garvey and Huw Stephens on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Wales and KLOF, and having shared stages with This Is The Kit, Becca Mancari and Willy Mason, Ivan brings a seasoned presence to the stage. We can't wait for you to join us for this special, intimate performance.
