Llongyfarchiadau enfawr i Don Leisure ar gipio'r Welsh Music Prize, buddugliaeth haeddiannol dros ben! 👑

I judged this year’s Welsh music prize – and Don Leisure’s winning album sums up the nation’s eclectic spirit

Desert blues, transcendental electronica and a concept album about a mill powered by music – this year’s shortlisted albums were stunningly diverse, none more so than the crate-digging on the triumphant Tyrchu Sain
