Noteworthy: Images of Welsh Music

With striking black-and-white portraits and adjoining reportage, this photography book focuses on the contemporary acoustic music scene in Wales. The book documents the faces and stories of harpists, bagpipers, fiddlers, drummers, hurdy gurdy players, and others who represent a range of genres, including folk, gospel, opera, choral, classical, and ethnic. The musicians are photographed in their surroundings, and the images are supplemented with conversational interviews about their background and practice.
