Happy St. David’s Day!
To celebrate, here’s my Wales themed playlist, featuring some of the great Welsh artists from over the years.
- Tom Jones – “Green, Green Grass of Home”
- Manic Street Preachers – “A Design for Life”
- Catatonia – “International Velvet”
- Feeder – “Buck Rogers”
- Goldie Lookin Chain – “Guns Don’t Kill People, Rappers Do”
- Budgie – “Breadfan”
- Duffy – “Mercy”
- Super Furry Animals – “Ice Hockey Hair”
- Stereophonics – “Local Boy in the Photograph”
- Charlotte Church – “Call My Name”
- The Alarm – “68 Guns”
- The Joy Formidable – “Whirring”
- Bullet For My Valentine – “Fever”
- Shakin’ Stevens & Bonnie Tyler – “A Rockin’ Good Way (To Mess Around and Fall in Love)”
- Propellerheads ft. Miss Shirley Bassey – “History Repeating”
- Bryn Terfel – “Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau”
A mix of genres there, with some absolute legends in attendance. Shakey and Bonnie on one song, together? Awesome. I chose a less obvious Shirley Bassey number also. From classic pop, to metal, to indie pop to rap; Wales has it covered.
Can you think of any more Welsh artists to add to this list? Leave a comment and let me know.
