This week on the Yellow Brit Road, we paid tribute to Datblygu frontman and Welsh music pioneer David R Edwards. Datblygu's first three albums, Wyau, Pyst and Libertino are must-listens. Dave did some English-language work under the name Dave Datblygu that you can find here.

Continuing our exploration of queer music history, we explored the 1990s this week. The show was

In case anyone wanted it, here are the lyrics to Datblygu's song Y Teimlad, along with an English translation.

Y teimlad sy'n hala pobol i anghofio amser

Y teimlad, beth yw'r teimlad?

Mae hapusrwydd yn codi ac yn troi yn wir rhywbryd

Y teimlad, beth yw y teimlad?

----

The feeling that makes people forget time

The feeling, what is the feeling?

Happiness rises and turns true sometimes

The feeling, what is the feeling?

R.I.P. Dave Datblygu

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, our celebration of Pride month continues, and so does our exploration of queer history and music.

Now into the 1970s, this episode looks at a series of firsts, of punk, folk and protest. We listened to queer anthems by Maxine Feldman, who recorded the first openly lesbian song, and gay rights activist and queer punk icon Tom Robinson. Here's the full playlist:

The Yellow Brit Road turns one! We've been on this golden road a full year now, so here's to another great show to celebrate!

June is Pride month, and we're celebrating with queer musical history and icons all month. This week, we explored the legacies of arguably the first openly trans rock and roller, Jayne County, and the godmother and inventor of all rock music anywhere, Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

You can find Sister Rosetta Tharpe's spirited live performance of Up Above My Head as played on the show here.

We also had music from

Our submission this week was from Floridian indie-pop band Community Towel, who say of themselves, "Departing from bass and vocal duty in post-hardcore outfit GILT, multi-instrumentalist Nico Baci uses their indie/dream-pop solo project Community Towel to explore their struggles with mental and physical health, and experiences as a nonbinary and Latinx individual"

It's finally here! Power pop royalty decided to walk down the Yellow Brit Road with me this week, as I got the opportunity to have an in-depth chat with Finnish Grammy winning artists Arto Tamminen and Janne Haavisto, collectively one half of the pop rock band The Bablers, whose much-awaiting album Psychadilly Circus comes out on 29 May (that's right, it's not out yet, so we were able to get a sneak peek on radio!)

They talked to me about the band, beginnings and reunions, the live music scene of the Finnish '80s, about the making of this album, their career, life, philosophies, and about all the lovely songs on this record.

Grab your copy of Psychadilly Circus over at Big Stir Records, and join the listening party!
