“This is an incredibly strong shortlist for the Welsh Music Prize”, says organiser John Rostron. “Twelve very different records, made by some well established artists and some new emerging stars with songs that embrace a whole host of genres, sounds and influences. Congratulations to them all. So many great albums are being released from Wales at the moment – it’s a really good time to be listening to new music and finding some new favourites”.
And here is that list:
