Welsh Music Wednesday
Dod nôl for another week of Welsh music suggestions! This week, I've got something a bit more downtempo, RnB and electronic, but it does come from a rock musician.
Lloyd Steele spent years as the guitarist with the celebrated hard rock band Y Reu. During lockdown, with the band unable to meet or do much live, Lloyd returned to his dayjob of being an engineer full-time, but also found a little time to release his debut solo release, a relaxed, peaceful electronic track called Mwgwd (Mask). That came out in 2022, and the song explores his own identity as a gay black man in his smaller Welsh speaking community. He's released a few more equally lovely singles since, and seems to be returning to collaborating this year with an electronic artist called Crwban.
