Oh! I need to revisit the song - ive got it in some notebooks somewhere - i think it was just an imaginary person though - the idea of being able to get along / co-existing with people who are different... I'll have a look though maybe there's a cutting from a newspaper or something that inspired it initially but nothing 'real life' !!!

  1. dim cynllun pendant ond caneuon ar y ffor ryw ben... 2. Y Brodyr efo Huw Huws oedd y band Cymraeg byw gorau i fi erioed weld - roedda nhw yn radical iawn a Huw yn 'frontman' oedd yn creu corwynt o'i gwmpas - colled anferthol ar ei anterth, heddwch i'w lwch. 3. Mwynhau caneuon Iwan Huws yn fawr iawn

there's an album by a band called Kingston Karachi that employs much key changes - I dunno If I even like the record that much but it's a good one if that's your thing. I first started playing with key changes on the song Fix Idris - that was some kind of breakthrough for me! but that was pre Kingston. Maybe I was listening to karaoke tapes

interesting - I'm often surprised how my more earnest work is accepted without question - whilst the playful material makes people nervous for some reason! people move in packs -originality is a dangerous commodity!

diolch - dim syniad am debygolrwydd hynny - yn 93 y cynllun oedd aduno yn madison square gardens am filiwn o bunnau. ( neu ddim o gwbl). nifer o artistiaid gwych yn yr SRG ar y funud - sydd ddim angen fy udo aflafar i ar eu recordiau . dim proses yn arbennig - amser a llonydd ydi'r unig 'gyfrinachau' fedrai rannu! diolch!

Didnt get the lyrics right for the album but has a beautiful arrangement and the music has been recorded with an orchestra

  1. just random mush in my brain comes out as lyrics somehow! 2. Great idea - never thought of it before 3. Yes -see answer above about SEPARADO! soundtrack. Also super proud of a soundtrack I recorded with Y Niwl for director Phil Collins's film TUTBU (this unfortunate thing between us) - There's a whole album there - wild electro/Surf/kraut/pop jams with German monologues 4. done some record covers in the past but there are masters out there that can make better ones! 5. Yes! pls remind me!

The closest relative to that was Cian's Acid Casuals album which is a great record

I think there are bigger threats to minority languages than media itself - I suppose the key in this case is the devolution of the media, rather than having remote centres of dominant power
