dRip is about letting go and healing from our younger years. 

At just ten years old, I become a care giver. Whilst balancing school and navigating life as a Disabled young person, I often came home apprehensive as to what situations I would encounter.

This aggressive and sharp dance track explores what it was like to carry those experiences into adult life. It has been an opportunity to express myself openly and explore the struggles that came with being a carer, something many young people in Wales don't always get to do.

If you would like to buy a version of the track, you can do so here: https://rightkeysonly.bandcamp.com/track/drip

All funds received will be but towards officially releasing the track.

The Boks have dominated the Player of the Year nominees, but will World Rugby conspire to select another Irish backrower? Phil and Andy launch the #JusticeForOx campaign as they ask whether rugby will always let props eat cake without proper recognition. The duo shine the spotlight on the latest fixtures like Stade de France did on the haka, and then sidestep like Kolbe to consider the impending Cardiff feast.
