Diolch @GarethBale11 - often pushing beyond reality on the pitch but also a transformative footballer culturally, in 2022 seeing a galactico sing Yma O Hyd with Dafydd Iwan was in the realm of science fiction - had to keep pinching myself. Unimaginable back in the 20th century

In a supposed period of mourning when as ‘subjects’ we can’t even watch football the new king during the most condescending speech ever finds time to impose his son on Wales as it’s new prince 🤮 #thanksomuch #republicofwales #gweiniaethgynaladwy

Declaring a new Prince of Wales with no discussion with the people of Wales wasn't right

Ifan Morgan Jones There’s an interesting scene in the hit Netflix show The Crown where Prince Charles is being invested at Caernarfon Castle, and suddenly expresses sympathy for the political views...

With the album ’Sadness Sets Me Free’ out in just a couple of weeks, here’s my new single from it Bad Friend, a song that can perhaps be summed up by the phrase ‘all in good time’. The video was shot by Mark James on a walking road trip across Wales.
