A music video filmed at Ynyslas featuring Aberystwyth musicians takes its inspiration from the Olympics.

The video is based on the iconic Chariots of Fire theme, and the group behind the video is 8Strings.

8Strings is a classical/film crossover music group, comprising of violinist Thomas Mathias, film composer/violinist, Stuart Bramwell and cinematographer, Philip Bramwell.

Formed in 2018, the group has received tens of thousands of online hits.

The group’s members have performed at some of the world’s leading venues including the Royal Albert Hall for the BBC Proms, Buckingham Palace, Abu Dhabi’s Royal Palace, and across BBC, ITV, and S4C Television.

Chariots of Fire is the group’s fourth video and features 12 Aberystwyth locals and a total of 18 performers on the beach! It is the most ambitious project undertaken by 8Strings so far.
