Nia Melville was in her own way as important a catalyst as John Peel - possibly more so, as we in Wales had no other channels to hear this stuff.<br />Her axing by Radio Cymru in 1995 was probably the greatest crime against Welsh culture since the Welsh Not.the archivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14594668016930173131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386771930841526969.post-68329728423690951152012-09-02T14:44:06.852-07:002012-09-02T14:44:06.852-07:00Rhys, you should have been listening to Nia Melvil...Rhys, you should have been listening to Nia Melville on Radio Cymru! All of this kind of stuff was on her show. The rest, you had to seek out in obscure fanzines. Of course, in their wisdom Radio Cymru cancelled her show in '95 with little objection. These days RC are making more unpopular changes and of course it's easy to start a 'Twitter campaign'. There are lots of good Welsh bands around now, but not many can interest me in the same way as these weird and obscure underground bands did.Dafydd Tomoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770568429323906952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386771930841526969.post-54082431192485709522012-08-22T01:30:57.483-07:002012-08-22T01:30:57.483-07:00Oh yeah, the whole reason I was going to post -

I was a teenager in north Wales in the 90's, but as neither myself or my mates had older sibblings to 'guide us' we existed in what we thought wasa musical wasteground. Faced with a choice between Sobin a'r Smaeliaid or Metalica, I nearly turned my back at Welsh language music for ever.<br />Although frustrating to now find out that all this scnee was taking place under my nose and me misisng it, it's great to be getting in touch with my musical heritage!
