Rona Mac (she/her) is a self-invented, genre-fusing, DIY singer-songwriter from rural West Wales. She crafts guitar driven tracks which provide a hooky bed for her distinct vocals and sophisticated lyricism, resulting in raw, lo-fi indie-pop with a generous nod to folk and blues sounds.

Her music comes unfiltered and full of feeling, as she says “If I can talk about things we’ve been told we shouldn’t, and help people connect to feelings they tucked away in their teens, then I’ll be happy when I’m old”.

Rona mimics her DIY recordings with a solo DIY performance using loop pedals with harmony, beat box, guitar solos and many textures to build energy and ambience, alongside stripped back and vulnerable songs which aim to draw you closer, resulting in a performance full of contrasts. This particular performance will be a mixture of old and new, giving you the full flavour of her musical journey. 

The West Walian artist holds us in her spell, her tone is haunting, her delivery effortlessly shifting from lilting to fearsome and defiant in a moment. Her songs are vivid, raw and emotive they show a remarkable maturity beyond her years.
