…with a bit of hard work, concentration and no interruptions, it may even go live late tonight…
WOO!
welshbandsweekly.com is going live in the next couple of days. Honestly!
Received the following message yesterday from Rhian Mostyn:
“Hoffwn son i ti am gig “Gob” ‘rwy’n drefnu i godi arian i Ty Gobaith yn Gonwy. Mi fydd y gig yn cael ei chynnal yng Nghlwb Rheilffordd Bangor ar yr 8fed o Ragfyr gyda’r Heights, Calansho ,Something Personal a finnau Rhian Mostyn a’r band yn chwarae ar y noson. Mi fydd mynediad wrth y drws yn £6 am 8.00 o’r gloch.”
Roughly translated, for those of you who don’t speak the language of heaven, this says that there’s a gig coming up on 8 December at the Railway Club in Bangor. It’s called “Gob” and is being held to raise money for the Ty Gobaith charity in Conwy. Tickets are £6.00 on the door and the gig starts at 8pm. The lineup includes The Heights, Calansho, Something Personal and the lady herself, Rhian Mostyn.
For more info, make friends with Rhian at MySpace.

What would you think are the biggest advantages to running Welsh Bands Weekly?
Sure, there are the more materialistic benefits, like free CDs, the occasional guest list place, getting to interview your favourite musicians and celebrities, and the general excitement and fun of it all. I won’t deny that these things have been enjoyable over the past decade, and will hopefully continue to be so for the foreseeable future. Read the rest of this entry »
