Ffurfiodd VRï yn Haf 2016 er mwyn arbrofi gyda ffordd siambr-gwerin o berfformio cerddoriaeth Gymreig. Gyda tri cerddor y band yn barod wedi sefydlu gyda bandiau eraill ar y sin cerddoriaeth draddodiadol (Calan, Elfen, NoGoodBoyo) roeddent yn frwd i weld os fyddai’n bosib defnyddio eu repertoire tebyg i greu rhywbeth unigryw drwy ddefnyddio synwyrusrwydd cerddoriaeth siambr. Eu nod oedd cynhyrchu sain soffistigedig ond syfrdanol heb golli ansawdd egnïol chwarae sesiwn dafarn lle ddysgon nhw’r gerddoriaeth yn wreiddiol.
VRï formed in the summer of 2016 to explore the possibilities of a ‘chamber-folk’ style of playing welsh music. With all three members already established with bands on the traditional music circuit (Calan, Elfen, NoGood Boyo) they were keen to see whether their shared repertoire of tunes and songs could be approached with the sensibilities of chamber music, creating a sound which was simultaneously sophisticated and raucous – maintaining in their playing all the energy and integrity of the pub sessions where they were first learned.
