Biography:
Paper Aeroplanes was a Welsh alt-pop band founded in 2009 by Sarah Howells and Richard Llewellyn, although both had performed together since 2005. After releasing four albums and going on several tours, including a sold-out show at London's Union Chapel, the group announced their separation to focus on solo projects in 2017. Howells now tours as a solo artist under the stage name Bryde.
Formerly part of Cardiff-based band Halflight, Llewellyn and Howells
