Watch an exclusive excerpt from this weekend s GŴYL 2021 concert below
How about this for a meeting of tQ favourites? Nadine Shah has joined Suede s Brett Anderson and the Paraorchestra to perform a cover of Mercury Rev s Holes .
For the performance, which you can watch above, the pair are backed by a band including Adrian Utley, Seb Rochford and Charles Hazlewood as part of a special concert which will be broadcast this weekend as part of BBC Wales GŴYL 2021. The Paraorchestra is the world s first large-scale integrated virtuoso ensemble of professional disabled and non-disabled musicians.
Dylan Henner has shared his take on minimalist cornerstone In C .
One of the most important pieces of music coughed up by the 20th century, In C stands as one of Terry Riley s true masterpieces.
In the hands of Dylan Henner this oft-tackled piece takes on a new light, with the left-field artist bringing his own personality and passions to the table.
Part of new album project Great Prairie Plains: Studies Of American Minimalism (out tomorrow, in fact) it s a hypnotic, 25 minute excursion into audio possibility.
He comments. In C is a piece of music I own in many forms. I have the original, a Bang On A Can take, an Acid Mothers Temple, Adrian Utley s, and the African Express arrangement curated by Damon Albarn. Each one is unique and special. It s a really unique and special piece.
OTHER Voices Cardigan has joined forces with three of Wales’ best-loved festivals to create Gŵyl 2021 - a free, online festival packed with unforgettable music and comedy, embracing diversity and dialogue. In November 2019, Theatr Mwldan hosted the very first Welsh edition of Other Voices festival which took place in Cardigan. And it will come as no surprise that this year’s edition of the festival will be of the digital variety as Other Voices Cardigan has teamed up with Festival of Voice, FOCUS Wales, and Aberystwyth Comedy Festival. Filmed or recorded over recent months in Wales and internationally within coronavirus guidelines, Gŵyl 2021 will be broadcast online on the BBC’s website at www.bbc.co.uk/gwyl2021 across the weekend of March 6-7.
