A ramble through the peaks and foothills of Cymrupop (with @rhys as your Sherpa), from rock to pop to folk to hip-hop to free jazz... you get the idea. Welsh-language music with English-language talking in between.

Only on Noisebox Radio (https://www.noiseboxradio.com), MONDAYS 8PM (NEW TIME!) repeated Wednesdays 11am.

I Couldn't Speak a Word of English: because you don't have to speak Welsh to enjoy Welsh-language music.

If you haven't listened to the show yet, and want to, dare I suggest https://www.mixcloud.com/NoiseboxRadio/i-couldnt-speak-a-word-of-english-4-may-2023/ as a decent standard episode. But if it's guests you're after [FX: Protracted Fanfare] then...

.. one ELIS JAMES will be knocking at the I Couldn't Speak A #WordofEnglish Celebrity Showbiz Door, once diaries are sorted. or an incredibly niche chat about Ysgol Bro Myrddin but a much wider one about Gorky's, Datblygu and general Cymrupop. Massive. Massive it is. Diolch, Elis! @noiseboxradio

I Couldn't Speak a Word of English - 4 May 2023

First broadcast 4 May 2023. You've probably heard the Super Furries, Gorky's and Catatonia, but where could you go on a wider, newer, older and deeper search for more Welsh language music? Let Rhys Jones guide you through the foothills and peaks of Cymrupop, as long as he doesn't get sent to the Tower first...

And finally tonight: the 1989 #CaniGymru winner. #NowPlaying: Hefin Huws - Twll Triongl (er... it surely can't mean Triangular Hole, can it?) #Celtovision

Right now on @noiseboxradio , a short selection of Cân i Gymru winners and near-winners. Here's one of @LlionJ's favourite runners-up and a beautiful, touching piece of work about finding your place in the world. #NowPlaying: Geraint Løvgreen a'r Enw Da - Yma Wyf Inna' i Fod. We'll be interviewing the singer-songwriter of this next week and marvelling at his revelations about What Really Happens at #Celtovision
