Celebrated Welsh band Derrero continue an unstoppable 29-year trajectory with the relaese of their 6th studio album 'Breezing Up' in Sept 2024.

The members of Derrero all met at Falmouth Art college in 1993: after studies, they evolved in Brighton before settling in Newport, Wales. There they released their debut single Tiny Shoes on Size 8 Records in 1997 and also their debut LP later that same year after signing to Big Noise records in Cardiff.

Since the bands foundation Derrero have released 5 critically acclaimed albums and toured with the likes of Super Furry Animals, Catatonia, Sebadoh and Granddaddy as well as collaborating on the film ‘Beautiful Mistake’ with John Cale.

The band also recorded three sessions for the legendary John Peel

Maintaining a resolutely DIY approach to music making Derrero are a strident and confident band who remain steadfastly unafraid to swim against the tide and self-produce and self-release uncompromising music outside of the mainstream.

Forged in slate and small-town angst in the foothills of Eryri by bearded brothers Liam and Siôn Rickard in 2020, Lo-fi Jones weave tales of love and loss in an ever changing landscape. Some highlights from 2023 include winning battle of the folk bands at the National Esiteddfod, performing at Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau and at the Swansea Fringe, competing in the final of Wales's annual Welsh language song competition, Cân i Cymru, and performing in the annual Mari Lwyd celebrations in Dinas Mawddwy. Lo-fi Jones's song "Slag Heap" from thier debut EP, "Llanast Yn Y Llofft" was nominated in the "best original English language song" category in the Welsh folk awards 2023. The band have appeared on S4C's Noson Lawen and have been featured in Y Selar and Fresh on The Net.

Cafodd Lo-fi Jones eu sefydlu yn 2020 gan Liam a Siôn Rickard, dau frawd barfog o Fetws-y-coed. Maent yn plethu straeon o gariad a cholled mewn tirwedd sy'n newid yn barhaus, gan fynd a’r gynulleidfa ar daith lle caiff momentau o addfwynder eu cyfosod â swrealaeth, anarchiaeth, ac awyrgylch parti.

Rhai o'r uchafbwyntiau Lo-fi Jones yn 2023 oedd ennill brwydr y bandiau gwerin yn yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol, perfformio ar Gân i Gymru a Noson Lawen ar s4c), yn ogystal â Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau, Gŵyl Ffrinj Abertawe, a Noson Y Fari Lwyd yn Ninas Mawddwy. Cafodd eu cân "Slag Heap" ei enwebu yn y categori "Cân Saesneg gorau" yn y Gwobrau Gwerin 2023. Mae cerddoriaeth Lo-fi Jones wedi cael ei chynnwys ar gylchgronau ar-lein Y Selar a Fresh on the Net.

Podlediad gyda Llwyd Owen a Leigh Jones sy’n rhoi sylw i’r pethau bach sy’n gwneud gwahaniaeth mawr i ni yn ystod y cyfnod hollol honco hwn.

Nos da Tanwen.
''My name is Tanwen. I live in a tiny rural village in Mid Wales.
I'm a touch autistic.
I like Cosplay lots.
I started making music with my little brothers X-BOX about a year ago.
My friends jumped about to them so I made a few CD's an sold them in school.
I really have no idea how to get anything on Spotify or Radio or anything and I'm not really sure if the music I make is worth money so I'll leave them on here, maybe someone will sing on some or pass them on?
I didn't take media or music in school and live miles from any clubs but I'd like to play in a club or bar. I don't know how to make videos to go with the music either sorry, so if anyone can do one for Youtube that would be buzzin'
My CD was called 'Land Of My Scartlead' as the DVD player in the lounge always fell out ruining films haha
I also sell retro looking beadys like Gameboy ones I give the money to Mencap. My dog is called Alice (Its a boy, confused?)
I called my record label TAN WHEN ? which is a word play joke (Only me on it haha)
My friend say I should try for the Mercury Music Prize lol but i think I'll try a Welsh one first just in case I epic fail haha
I now signed to Recordio R-Bennig and the girls from A5 bought me a big box of Oh Polly gear! OMGOSH
