Huw Stephens and Sian Eleri tell the story of Welsh language pop in the 1990s. A story of indie guitar bands reaching new heights; acid house getting Wales raving. Of the rise of ‘Cool Cymru’, as new art, film and music might just make Wales the hippest place in the universe. A story of devolution and end-of-a-millennium optimism. It’s the story of imprisoned Ankst Records founder Alun Llwyd sharing his story of how protest and Welsh language pop music are so closely linked. Of a party that brings musical icons from across the decades together to celebrate his release. Of the rise of a new wave of guitar bands wearing their bilingualism on their (record) sleeve - Catatonia, and the Super Furry Animals. And Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci, whose singer Euros Childs explains how the language helped them stand out across the border during the Britpop years.
