Happy St. David’s Day to (almost) all of our Welsh readers! By way of celebration of the feast day of this most HTV-watching Bedgellert-visiting Boon Bar-scoffing Tros Y Gareg-crooning Flower Stories-endorsing Cerys Matthews-fancying Ffalabalam-comprehending of unfairly overlooked patron saints, here’s a special edition of The TATP Years devoted to all of our favourite Welsh Language things, of which there happen to be a surprisingly large amount. And that’s not just Eve Myles Bron. Even though there is a large amount of them.
So join Super Furry Animals, HTV, Barry Welsh, BBC Cymru, Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci, Absolutely, Meic Stevens, Fireman Sam, Ryan & Ronnie, S4C, Cerys Matthews, Heather Jones, Gareth Edwards, Y Nhw, Wil Cwac Cwac, Bran, Sidan and The BBC Radiophonic Workshop (Welsh Division) for thirty minutes of oh-no-my-regular-BBC-regional-transmitter’s-broken-down audio collage fun, with plenty of pointers on how to pronounce that overlong railway station name. “Cwaaaaaaac…”
This was put together really quickly – so quickly, in fact, that we didn’t have time to find any clips of Disc A Dawn or the Heather Jones track we’d originally thought of using… and didn’t even think about that bit from Doctor Who And The Delta And The Bannermen until now - so please show your appreciation and share the link about a bit. And a big thank you to our Cymru Correspondent Justin Lewis, who helped out enormously with locating a couple of hard-to-find bits and pieces.
You can download it here, or subscribe to the podcast via iTunes, and don’t forget to have a listen to the recently-released regular TATP Years covering 1988 while you’re at it. Hurrah (in Welsh)!
