I was pleased recently to find this video interview of guitarist and composer, Gwenifer Raymond, which includes snippets of some of her performances.
(trans) 894 views May 24, 2022 On this muggy Thursday evening we were guests in Bernd Mair's loft for the first time. The relaxed and intimate atmosphere reminded some of the visitors of the legendary Tiny Desk Concerts from the USA.Our first musician in this exclusive setting was Gwenifer Raymond, a guitarist originally from Wales who now lives in Brighton, England. She calls her style of playing the guitar Welsh Primitive, based on American Primitive and Blues music. Live, however, it quickly became clear that Gwen's music also lives from her energetic and passionate style, which is deeply rooted in punk.Schnittraum Tirol produced the interviews and the live recording. Enjoy!
-------------------------
Gwenifer Raymond has done a lot of pre-performance interviews since I first came across her a couple years ago, but they are mostly boilerplate endlessly repeated -- so read one and you've seen them all. There is an enthusiastic review of her history and style by Kitty Empire on The Guardian.
Words can't do justice to Raymond's performance on the guitar (or banjo). Be sure to watch some of the full performance videos available on Youtube. I think the first one I found was Sometimes There's Blood.
