Other News – Gruff Rhys wins the First Welsh Music Prize at The Swn Festival in Cardiff. Hosted by Adam Walton from BBC Radio Wales and held at the Kuku Club, a surprised Gruff said, “Everyone on the list deserved to win, so I am very grateful. I really didn’t expect to win, so I didn’t prepare anything. I was so surprised because it’s such a strong list of albums and so difficult to judge between them. It could have gone to anyone. I feel very lucky.”
Over in Colwyn Bay Heatseeker played at the newly renovated Colwyn Theatre. Following the trend of hundreds (if not thousands) of tribute acts, this AC/DC tribute outfit are by all accounts a poor copy of AC/DC UK – on asking how the gig went, Tim Griff replied, ‘Let’s not go down that road, terrible!’
