Great venue (quite similar to The Gate). I saw Edwyn Collins there a few years ago, which was also magical. By coincidence, Robert spoke about Edwyn tonight inbetween songs too…

He is in top form and seems to be enjoying playing live. The band are fantastic, especially the lead guitarist whom was note perfect all night. It was truly a great event and I’m sure the London gig will be too!

He and the band are on fire! One of the best times I have seen him in the last 20 years!

Robert Forster and his band were on top form at The Gate in Cardiff tonight! Great to hear lots of the Go-Betweens songs alongside Roberts latest tunes including the classic “People Say”!

Top night in a former toilet in Newport! The Phyllis Maud featured Emmy Greening, Blind River Scare and MG Boulter playing fantastic acoustic sets to an appreciative crowd.

Blimey. I’m seriously shocked! The album is a work of art.

I became a dad in 94 so missed a few of those but did catch the Suede gig at Newport Centre which is still up there forever as a top gig for me…

I recall it as a tremendous and sweaty night. I’ve lived in Cardiff and Newport since the early 80s so I was probably at a lot of the same gigs as you….

I was at that Blackwood gig. No backstage pass but I did grab a poster off the wall! Both bands were on fire that night!

We know it’s Bandcamp Friday (which means you are getting bombarded with “buy me” messages!) but it really helps to not have to pay the fees! The Coastal Ghost 7” single “Nightwalker”/“Cavalry Coat” sounds incredible & only a very limited number exist coastalghost-uk.bandcamp.com/album/nightw...

Great to see Burning Ferns do an acoustic set tonight at Le Pub while supporting Italian Americana trio Satellite Inn who were joined by local musician Steve Honeywill on lead guitar & lap-steel!

Oh no! We were looking for you and now know why we didn’t see you! Doors were at 7pm, Hanging Stars were on at 7:15pm!

Edwyn and the band came on stage to the sound of The Mekons “Where Were You” (featuring our Jon Langford!)

Countrymile @countrymile.bsky.social · 10d

Well, that was a bit special! Edwyn Collins in Bath was emotional, fun, brilliant & life-affirming! More OJ songs than I expected & the band played them all perfectly. Great support set by The Hanging Stars too.

Give Adams great show a listen to hear the first play of our next single “Nightwalker” by Coastal Ghost as part of his “Tune Burger” feature with the comment “Americana with a Neil Young element”! It’s on around 2:09 but the whole show is worth listening to!

Adam Walton @adamthomaswalton.bsky.social · 13d

This week's show is available to listen to on BBC Sounds NOW: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Handpicked musical ace from across Wales, for you, your friends, family and curious pets.

Thanks for listening / diolch am wrando x
