Statue of Eddie Thomas, Merthyr Tydfil cc-by-sa/2.0 - © Ian S - geograph.org.uk/p/4001542 “ When shall we three meet again?” asked Daniel Druff dramatically. The remaining two members of his drama group at Merthyr Tydfil Technical College stared back from their online Zoom meeting and shrugged their shoulders. “I think it best if the ‘Read Brigade’ meet in person to discuss our proposal, in order that no third party can infiltrate our Group or stop our plan…agreed?” continued Daniel. His fellow Brigade members of Grant Aide and Douglas Deep...

MINAS begins 2021 with ‘BURNER’ - a low key protest anthem brooding with resentment and an undercurrent of dissent.

Ceri Shaw - @ceri-shaw
26 Feb 2021

2020 saw two releases from Minas - ‘Drinker’ released in July was a precursor to the upcoming debut album ‘All My Love Has Failed Me’ (releasing later this year) whilst the EP ‘Nudge’ captured the energy (or lack thereof) brought about by lockdown. ‘Burner’ , the next release ahead of the debut album, again stands alone. The track exudes a cool yet angsty vocal that simmers over the top of a steady rhythm and intensely humming bass. Not afraid to spit indignantly at authority Minas questions “How could you call that man there a president?” and...

Tom Auton To Release His New Single - Victim Of The Groove - Feb 26th 2021

Ceri Shaw - @ceri-shaw
26 Feb 2021

Wales’ Tom Auton has announced his brand new single blues-rock single Victim of the Groove will be released on Friday 26 February on all major streaming/download platforms. You can pre-save/listen to the track HERE Victim of the Groove is a delicious slice of rock that’s infused with disco, to create an unstoppable deep groovy blues sound. The track is about the thoughts that rage inside you when you have a mental block. As Tom eloquently puts it “As a chef, you’d feel incredibly useless if you couldn’t cook anything. The same applies to songwriters when they can’t...

Looking back and making it real - Historical Fiction by Barrie Doyle

Barrie Doyle - @barrie-doyle
25 Feb 2021

Visit Barrie Doyle's website: click here ... I love reading historical fiction. I was taught history the old, boring, way of memorizing lists of king and prime ministers, battle dates, and significant eras of change such as the Renaissance only to forget them immediately after the test. And yet, I had a fascination with the bygone eras. How did they impact who we are and what we do in the twenty-first century? Have we changed or are people still basically people with the same hopes and fears but just with different technologies and toys? My answer was found...

viA fAntAsticA share reassembled pop collage 'Onstage, right now....' from forthcoming album '2 any 1' an aural voyage of outsider synth pop and electronica

Ceri Shaw - @ceri-shaw
24 Feb 2021

viA fAntAsticA is J.T. and Gaia de Voxx on a DIY synth pop journey. J.T. is Justin Toland, erstwhile purveyor of loops and found sound on Recordiau Peski and self-released cassettes under the name Location Baked. Gaia de Voxx is his droid vocalist. 2 any 1 is the debut album by viA fAntAsticA. It’s about songs, tunes, accessibility, reaching out. Influences range from mass market and under-the-radar 80s synth pop ( Yazoo, Human League, Fad Gadget ) to contemporary Puerto Rican electronic indie ( Los Wálters, Buscabulla ). 2 any 1 began as an imaginary soundtrack to a...

AN “EXCITING BLUEPRINT FOR BUILDING A BETTER SOCIETY” – UTOPIAN VISION FOR A NEW INDEPENDENT WALES

Ceri Shaw - @ceri-shaw
24 Feb 2021

“I don’t expect everyone to agree with everything in the book – it will be too radical for some, and for others it won’t be radical enough,” says author Llywelyn ap Gwilym about his new bilingual book, Llyfr Du Cymru Fydd / The Black Book of the New Wales (Y Lolfa), which is published this week. The organiser of the AUOB Cymru rallies which attracted thousands to pro-independence marches in Cardiff, Caernarfon and Merthyr pre Covid-19 has written his vision of an independent Wales. Llywelyn ap Gwilym, who is also on the Central Committee of YesCymru, said: “I’ve supported...
