The Gentle Good is the stage-name of Cardiff-born songwriter Gareth Bonello. Gareth draws on the language, poetry and melodies of his native Wales to create beautiful modern folk music in English and in Welsh. His intricate guitar playing has prompted many to draw comparisons to the great guitarists of the 1960s folk revival, many of whom had a direct and profound influence from an early age.

The Gentle Good have released several critically acclaimed records and has been nominated for the Welsh Music Prize twice. In 2014 his third album 'Y Bardd Anfarwol' was awarded the Welsh album of the Year at the National Eisteddfod.

As a performer Gareth is well-travelled and versatile, most often performing as a soloist but sometimes seen with a full band and string quartet. Gareth has performed all over the world, from the bars of Austin, to Glastonbury and the Smithsonian Folklife Festival and from the mountains of Nagaland to the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing.
