Favourite Welsh GroupMusic

[aljones]

As most of you probably don't know, I'm from Wales, the home to many great bands. Personally, my favourite has to be the Stereophonics, but I was just wondering which was your favourite Welsh band, and what you think of the music produced by Welsh bands in general.

I actually like SFA as evidenced ny my vote in the poll.

But what about Tom Jones? And where in the UK do Stiff Little Fingers originate?

TOM JONES

Heh, I can't say I like the music all that much, but he's an incredibly cool guy. One of the DJs at our local college radio station used to play his stuff because A) nobody told him not to, it was college radio; and B) his parents had been big fans when he was a kid.

Anyway, he wrote to Tom Jones and asked if they could do a short phone interview during the yearly fundraiser. Instead of that, Tom Jones drove up from Atlantic City to do the interview live in the studio. He hung out with the kid for like 3 hours, helped him spin records, answered call-ins, and was in general just a really amazingly cool guy for a star of that magnitude (even an ex-star, though he's still just as popular with his original audience as he ever was). He even sang some acapella stuff live just for fun.

I was just really impressed that he would go so far out of his way to support some podunk 1000-watt amateur radio station. Undoubtedly he had better things to do with his time.

Welsh MUsic?????

I think Jonsey means bands that are made up of Welsh people.

Although he appears not to be including 'lostprophets' and 'Incubus'

Believe me singing in welsh is no easy task, well unless welsh is your first language i suppose.

not a lot of welsh music makes it out to slc utah

 

[slip2rock]

If you're in to rock / nu metal and stuff you may yet get to hear of lostprophets and Incubus.

I find it hard to belive that you've not heard of the Sterophonics tho'?

Nope Feeder are Welsh. Thats why I included the 'Other' option in the poll. There are tons of Welsh groups around which I could have listed, I just picked some of the bigger ones. Yeah, I should have probably included Feeder (especially as they are on the GT3 game), I guess that one just slipped my mind while I writing the poll.

ok useless claim to fame.

I was in Camden market last Sunday and my girlfriend and her sister saw the singer from Feeder.

They didn't tell me until afterwards, i didn't notice him at all, apparently they saw him twice. the second time he tuned red and ran off as they were both standing there nudging each other saying 'is it? is it?'

Slip.
