Surprised but over the moon to have two of my albums on Echoes and Dust's albums of the year list 2025 (Bisgedi by Bisgedi & Demagogue Go by Fled Astray). Unexpected but appreciated. It's difficult to get records listened to (there's rather a lot of them nowadays).

New Welsh music you may have missed in September, from coastally-inspired desert sounds to pop-metal with loverman sax
For September, 10 new Welsh releases that don’t necessarily have much in common… other than Noel Gardner wants to tell you about them.

Lovely to see so many acts (and adjacent acts) on the @welshmusicprize.bsky.social longlist who have graced many a NAWR stage such as @gwennosaunders.bsky.social, Bisgedi, Kelan and Lifting Gear Engineer. Don’t forget that NAWR Fest #4 is on 8th November in Ty Tawe. Tickets just £15. xxx
