Siân James (born 24 December 1961)[1] is a Welsh traditional folk singer[2] and harpist who has recorded for Sain and BBC Records as well as her own label, Bos.
A native of the Mid Wales village of Llanerfyl in Powys,[1] Siân James participated, from an early age, in local eisteddfodau, playing the piano, the violin and later the harp.[1] While still a student at Llanfair Caereinion High School, she began composing her own songs and arranging traditional Welsh music. She went on to read music at the University of Wales, Bangor.[1] She is also well known for her acting work on Welsh language television.
Having been a recording artist for Sain and BBC Records, James has, in the 2000s, recorded her work for Bos at her home studio in Llanerfyl.
James conducts and accompanies a Welsh men's choir called Parti Cut Lloi. In 2009, she performed several times with the choir at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C.
