Students of Myself - Rhys Hughes: A Review

Ceri Shaw - @ceri-shaw
24 Jul 2021

Read our interviews with author Rhys Hughes here and here ... In this collection of bizarre tales from the Welsh master of the absurd we are introduced to a Professor with a small class and an unusual subject matter. Rhys explains thusly: There are few students in my class. When one considers what the subject is, this isn’t surprising. I teach myself. In other words, I impart to my students facts and fancies based on my life and ideas. It’s the least popular class in the university and I doubt it will be funded for another term. As a homework...

Ceri Shaw - @ceri-shaw
20 Jul 2021

‘Balafô Douma’ yw’r sengl gyntaf oddi ar ‘Aros I Fi Yna ’ EP cyntaf N’famady Kouyaté . Yn wreiddiol o Guinea Conakry, mae cerddoriaeth N’famady wedi ei wreiddio yn nhraddodiadau Mandingue ei famwlad yng Ngorllewin Affrica, gyda dehongliadau newydd o fywyd ac egni yn deillio o ddylanwadau indi, pop a jazz ei gartref newydd yng Nghymru. Cyfieithiad Cymraeg y teitl yw ‘mae’n wych cael chwarae’r balafon’, ac mae’n cynrychioli taith gerddorol N’famady, o bŵer a chryfder ei etifeddiaeth deuluol (cafodd ei ddysgu sut i chwarae’r balofon, sef xylophone traddodiadol Affricanaidd, yn blentyn)...

WELSH SINGER SONGWRITER 'LLEUWEN' TO RELEASE NEW 'RHOSOD' SINGLE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CANADIAN PRODUCER "ERIN COSTELO' + CANADA NATIONAL ARTS

Ceri Shaw - @ceri-shaw
16 Jul 2021

LLEUWEN releases 'RHOSOD' on Label Eg “My roses are fragile, and come with thorns. . . ” Here is a line from 'RHOSOD' (Roses) written, composed, recorded and performed by Lleuwen Steffan in her home in Brittany. Lockdown has been a time of home recordings. She usually composes her songs with guitar, and used most of her lockdown time to learn something she always wanted – the piano. All her gigs were cancelled mid-tour in 2020 so she had the time. Nothing beats real connection, so when she was given the opportunity to work with producer Erin Costelo, Lleuwen seized the opportunity....

Eve Goodman announces new 'Wave Upon Wave' Single

Ceri Shaw - @ceri-shaw
7 Jul 2021

'Wave Upon Wave', the latest single by North Wales singer / songwriter Eve Goodman is an exploration of the healing power of the sea. Its lilting, rolling melody is one part ‘Bryter Layter’ Nick Drake, early 70s golden period Sandy Denny and the other Eve’s captivating and unflinching musical honesty. 'Wave Upon Wave'’s emotive heart balances the songs questioning yearning with the need for comfort …… the comfort of being carried along the waves towards an awaiting shore. Eve explains the origin of the song: "I wrote the vocal parts in one sitting, and never changed them. In...

Ceri Shaw - @ceri-shaw
7 Jul 2021

Led by Welsh-native producer and vocalist Ryan A.

The pair produced two acclaimed studio albums - the confrontational Foe (2012) and the maximalist Maximum Entropy (2015) under Cooperative Music(Universal / PIAS). After parting ways the project resurfaced in late 2017, essentially as a solo act. In 2018, and following a successful...
