Nansi Richards

Known as Telynores Maldwyn, Nansi Richards was the most celebrated Welsh harpist of the twentieth century and a champion of the triple harp. She won the National Eisteddfod triple harp competition three years running from 1908, learned from Romani musicians who stayed on her family’s farm, and founded the Snowdonia Harp Choir. A trust in her name now supports young harpists.
