9Bach is an alternative folk group formed by Welsh singer-songwriter Lisa Jên and guitarist Martin Hoyland.

The group was formed in 2005 when their repertoire mainly consisted of traditional Welsh-language folk songs.[1]

In 2015, 9Bach's album Tincian won Best Album at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.[2] The band was joined onstage by Bethesda-based male voice choir Côr Penrhyn for their final song of the evening.[3]
