For some time I've been fascinated by Wales. Yet I've only seen it at night, on British Rail, speeding to Fishguard. I've read a couple of books by Niall Griffiths set in Aberystwyth and Northern Wales. It seems like a great place. Though the language does seem a bit impenetrable, I'd give it a shot, if given the chance.
Here's a mix with the Welsh artists I found amongst my CDs. Perhaps not the greatest collection of Welsh music, but a collection none the less.

| 4 | Stereophonics : Hurry Up and Wait |

One song from Stereophonics is ok, but sitting through an hour of Kelly Jones' raspy voice can be a bit much.

Nice mix. I really like Catatonia! Didn't know all these artist are from Wales (I just knew they were British). Well, I never listened to the Welsh language and so have no songs, otherwise I would have picked one for my mix.
