ARC Music Productions International has teamed up with Theatr Mwldan in Wales to form a new independent record label, bendigedig. bendigedig is dedicated to producing a limited number of fully supported releases, working on an integrated and sustainable model, in partnership with the artists involved.

Welsh poet, singer and BBC Radio 2 Folk Award (Best Traditional Track) nominee Gwyneth Glyn is the first artist signed to bendigedig and is soon to release her new album 'Tro' worldwide.

The album 'Tro' – Welsh for 'turn' – is the first major solo album from one of Wales' most intriguing and talented artists, with a passion for language who applies her delicate craft and exquisite gift to this compelling new album, which also features Senegal's acclaimed kora player Seckou Keita and BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Winner Rowan Rheingans. The sparse and sensitive use of kora, lapsteel, banjo, crwth (bowed lyre) and bansitar amongst others bring an unexpected sparkle to a mix of traditional and new compositions.
