Gwenifer Raymond began playing guitar at the age of eight shortly after having been first exposed to punk and grunge. After years of playing around the Welsh valleys in various punk outfits she began listening more to pre-war blues musicians as well as Appalachian folk players, eventually leading into the guitar players of the American Primitive genre. It was then that Gwenifer began writing her own moody and often-times manic original American Primitive styled compositions and started playing shows around the UK.

huge. I saw Gwenifer the other day in Vancouver BC, very randomly without knowing her work at all, and it was a revelation!! She played 2 sets for like 90 minutes+ and I was hypnotized by the time it was over, wtf. Very tasteful camerawork on this btw , kudos to the Nest.

[@gordyhydro5774]

Wow, I've not heard anything so hypnotic. I can't find the words to express my feelings absolute brilliant.

Like nothing I have ever heard. Sure, there are influences from John Fahey and the American Primitive tradition, but she possesses a totally unique voice. Astoundingly talented and evocative!

Would love to hear this type of Music played on a 12 String Guitar, Dreadnought or Jumbo. So reminiscent of North African Trance Music, The 3 Deaths of Red Spectre and Hell For Certain in particular.👏👏👏The Queen of Claw Hammer.

Wow, the little Waterloo 00 has never sounded so good. Shades of Fahey, and I wish (again) that Waterloo had introduced a 'Stella style' 12 string into their lineup...

[@Michael777Simmons]

I see you have Myrtle with you. She did a good job And you did too.

[@WriterMikeMonson]

Must be around 6 pm there. I think. What do I know?

[@LuizBarrosPoa]

How many hands does she have? I counted 5...

Got herself a "sporting right hand"...
