Llwybr Llaethog

Llwybr Llaethog (Welsh for Milky Way, although the Milky Way has several names in Welsh folklore) are an experimental Welsh language band that effectively mix such varied musical genres as rap, dub, reggae, hip hop, and punk in their music. Founded in the northern Welsh town of Blaenau Ffestiniog in 1985 by John Griffiths and Kevs Ford, the two teens had spent the seventies growing up in the decaying industrial surroundings of Blaenau Ffestiniog, Wales. The two were heavily influenced by reggae and the punk scene that was sweeping the UK.

Cate Le Bon

Cate Le Bon has clocked up quite an impressive musical C.V. She has already supported Gruff Rhys on his UK tour, played Glastonbury, Latitude and The Green Man festival and is now a guest vocalist on Neon Neon’s hit single I Lust U. Her first official release comes in the form of a Welsh EP, ‘Edrych Yn Llygaid Ceffyl Benthyg’ which is a beautifully shonky musical journey from start to finish strung together by Cate Le Bon’s haunting vocals and her unique vocal melodies.
