Robin Huw Bowen is a player of the Welsh Triple Harp, known in Welsh as Telyn Deires, and is recognised internationally as the leading exponent of the instrument. He was awarded the Glyndŵr Award in 2000. Robin Huw Bowen worked for many years at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth. While there he discovered several old collections of Welsh tunes and arrangements for harp, some of which have since been published either by the Library or by his own music publishing company, Gwasg Teires. His research has also drawn on living sources, in particular the harpist Eldra Jarman (great granddaughter of John Roberts ('Telynor Cymru') the last exponent of the true Welsh Gypsy harping tradition
