Moch Pryderi
Moch Pryderi (Welsh for “Pryderi’s Pigs”) is a six piece Welsh-American band from Fredericksburg, VA. The band formed as a result of the Fredericksburg Welsh festival in 1998 and has been together since. Their music is firmly rooted in the traditional Brythonic-Celtic music of Wales and Brittany, occasionally interwoven with traditional music from Ireland, Scotland, Turkey, and the American-Appalachians. Moch Pryderi has performed widely on the east coast, including the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, The Celtic Classic in Bethlehem, PA, the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the Washington Folk Festival, the Potomac Celtic Festival, the Fredericksburg Welsh Festival, the Philadelphia Welsh Festival, as well as the Historic Rugby Tennessee Festival of British & Appalachian Culture, the Celtic Nations Heritage Festival in Lake Charles Louisiana, and the Welsh Heritage Center in Wymore, NE.
Moch Pryderi’s instrumentation includes the rare Welsh triple harp, Welsh pibgorns and Welsh pipes as well as highland pipes, fiddle, Breton bombard, Celtic bouzouki, flutes, whistles and percussion. Moch Pryderi’s vocal abilities create a diversified pallet for Moch’s distinctive and haunting sound. Moch Pryderi’s four CDs, “Dancing in the Pigsty”, “Belly Jerk”, “Jig Moch” and the WAMMIE nominated “Moch IV” contain a rich selection of Welsh traditional materials as well as original works. Their 4th CD, “Moch IV”, was nominated for the prestigious “Wammie” award in the traditional folk music category by the Washington Area Music Association. Moch Pryderi’s members are; Bob Roser, Mary Triola, Dave Rich, Rik Rice, Deborah Wenrich, and Bill Reese.
