"I saw Crinc perform on the fringe at the recent National Eisteddfod, witnessing a rag-tag ensemble of kids with appalling taste in clothing and a twattish on-stage persona. This is right up my street and the set that night stuck in my head. In the here-and-now, that set has been honed and put to record (well… Spotify) and immediately jumps out at you as ‘not normal’ – it’s Welsh Republican Soviet Minimalist Punk Neo-Rave Post Mod Environmentally Toxic Industrial (their words, not mine). The garage door is open and roof is leaking; inside the band are knocking out classics with their Argos catalogue guitars. Their parents were fans of The Jesus & Mary Chain, Spaceman 3 and Primal Scream, they also had an interesting medicine cabinet that the band have taken full advantage of…" Neil Crud, Louder Than War

Here's a review of Aled's album '67 
Welsh Connections 
Album review.
Artist : Aled Hughes.
Title : ‘67 (2017)

Eighteen tracks (yes, 18 !) and all but one written by Aled and recorded at Cardiff’s Earl Lane Studios by Lynise Esprit (Seafall).
There’s nothing wrong with sitting firmly in the middle lane, making music for people of a certain age when it’s done well - and this is ! It’s a great collection of mid-tempo tunes somewhere between pop and soft rock. The playing is faultless and the album rolls along at a pleasant pace but there are few stand out tracks - however when they do come along they are made that much more special. Check out ‘Sweet Mona Lisa’ or ‘Who Is She ?’.

Aled enjoys writing songs in Welsh and English, poetry and real ale. In fact the odd real ale helps with the writing! 

Here's the link to his cdbaby page where there are more songs  including his album It's Acoustic are available.

Hartan and Escalator are recordings of a  project with Johnny R from R Bennig Records also recorded at Famous Studios, Cardiff.
Camera Republic and Delwedd ein Gwlad (A vision for our Country) are from a project with Bob Pittman who also played bass for Mr Spoons.
You've got to believe is from a project with Jeff Slade.
Mr Spoons were a Cardiff based band and recorded sessions for BBC Radio Cymru's Ram Jam Programme which used to be aired on Saturday mornings. They also produced a pop video of Pink Moustache for the S4C tv channel for a programme called Heno with Aled Hughes vocals, Julian Unwin guitar, keys, backing vocals, Lee French Bass, Andrew (Sid) Hughes drums.  
Also included are some of Aled's voiceover clips.
Take care and enjoy life!

Songwriter / Musician / Producer. 
Blaenau Ffestiniog, North Wales, Earth.

Gai Toms (Guy Toms) is considered a strong and colourful thread in the Welsh language songwriting fabric. His current album ‘The Wild, the Tame and the Feral’ (Sept 2015) shows that he is very capable of coming up with the goods in English too. A talented self taught musician who learned his craft in grassroots music circles, now a prolific songwriter with a decent repertoire to his name. He is also the guitarist in Welsh alt rock band - Brython Shag. 

Co-founder member of the excellent ska-rock band - Anweledig (Invisible) and main man of the award winning folk concept - Mim Twm Llai, Gai Toms draws on his musical past, applying it to new works with a refined focus. Early songs are collage's of his post-industrial square mile while his latest songs are more diverse in content, expression and tenacity. Lyrics play a major role in Gai Toms’ music, usually dictating the music style. Styles vary from folk revival to indie rock, but he’s also not afraid of a bit of experimentation. Influences - Woody Guthrie, Meic Stevens, John Prine, Nick Cave, Gruff Rhys / SFA, PJ Harvey, Conor Oberst, Ty Segal, Tom Waits, Johnny Cash, Bjork, Tom Morello... and more!

Live, the Gai Toms band consists of top musicians who can raise the roof with up-tempo numbers as well as the hair on the back of your neck with the slower songs. Gai’s vocals are reminiscent of The Clash’s Joe Strummer, giving a punky edge to the whole experience. Solo acoustic sets are commonplace for Gai too. 

From toilet circuit gigs to festivals such as SXSW (Austin, Texas), Smithsonian Folklife Festival (Washington DC), The National Eisteddfod and Festival No.6. (Portmeirion, Wales) Gai Toms has embraced a range of experiences, and is yet hungry for more.
