“Diolch! Of all the languages, I should have learned Welsh, because I married into a Welsh family. Although it’s probably best if I don’t know what they’re saying!” Robert Smith having a bit of banter with the #Blackweir crowd! Fab Cure gig in #Cardiff… felt like a festival! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

☀️ Heatwave? Not another one… er, yes! 📈 With high pressure building, temperatures rising into the mid to high 20s (possibly even higher) across much of Wales next week.

⚠️ Wet and windy weather has arrived with Storm Antoni - an AMBER warning in place across SW Wales. The heaviest rain overnight and this morning - but potentially damaging winds today. Widely gusting 40-50mph, nearer 60-70mph on some coasts. #StormAntoni

Sad to hear of the passing of Moya (Maire) Brennan from Clannad. Such a talented songwriter and musician. Never actually watched Harry's Game, but like many children of the 80s, the theme is etched in the memory… thanks to that beautiful, ethereal voice.

As Glastonbury collaborations go, Paul Heaton reunited with Norman Cook is right up there. Half the Housemartins, complete with the dance routine from the video? It’s Happy Hour again on BBC Four! #Glastonbury

Sad to hear William Orbit has died. He played a part in so many hits of the 90s… from Madonna, All Saints, Blur, Beth Orton, Finlay Quaye to U2. Always adored Bassomatic’s ‘Fascinating Rhythm’. Farewell to a producer extraordinaire. #WilliamOrbit #TOTP

Nile Rodgers’ Chic are just joyful - one of the best bands you can catch at a festival. But seeing #Glastonbury security staff join in the moves for ‘Le Freak’ adds a little extra sunshine to your Sunday!🕺🏻 #Chic #Glastonbury2025

Quite a sight to see nearly 200,000 people blasting out ‘Da Ya Think I’m Sexy’ with Rod Stewart at #Glastonbury. Love how this has gone from being a cheesy disco hit… to the biggest guilty pleasure of them all! 🕺🏻 #RodStewart #Glastonbury2025

Farewell, Gary Dwyer. Drummer with The Teardrop Explodes and The Colourfield. For those of us who loved post-punk and new-wave… raise a glass to this legend of the Liverpool music scene. #RIPRocky

Never seen David Byrne live before… less a gig, more a superb spectacle of choreography! From Once In A Lifetime, Psycho Killer, And She Was… to some fabulously avant-garde album tracks. Not the same as it ever was… for a Monday night in Cardiff! #DavidByrne

Great to catch David Byrne live at Cardiff Castle… not just a concert, more a superb spectacle of choreography! A setlist full of Talking Heads crowd-pleasers… ‘Once In A Lifetime’, ‘Psycho Killer’, and this life-affirming Technicolor version of ‘And She Was’. #DavidByrne

Squeeze celebrating their 50th anniversary by opening Glastonbury. Seen them live countless times. They *never* disappoint (check out their YouTube channel!) Bit baffled why they haven’t made the telly or iPlayer coverage this year? #Squeeze #Glastonbury

🎙 When live TV goes wrong... had a few texts about this! The microphone dropped inside my outfit and I had to grab the emergency mic. What you don’t see - but do hear - is presenter Jen Jones running across studio to pass the stick mic, like a baton-relay champion. What a pro!

📈 Wales is set to see temperature records topple this week. ☀️ Highly likely we’ll exceed our June record (33.7 °C). And it’s possible we could challenge Wales’ hottest ever day on record… #Heatwave

Caught Steely Dan in concert a few back. Love their music so much, that last night I saw the next best thing... Nearly Dan live at The Globe. Surely one of the best names for a tribute band ever?! #SteelyDan #Cardiff

“Cardiff, I’ve never played here before. But I was told the Welsh love to sing, so sing away”. Cue two tributes to Tom Jones - ‘What’s New, Pussycat’ and a huge singalong to ‘Green, Green Grass of Home’. Billy Joel winning over fans in Wales with ease! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #BillyJoel

Squeeze celebrating their 50th anniversary with a great gig in Cardiff. There’s *something* about this tour - adoring crowds, selling out huge venues - feels like they’ve belatedly reached nation treasure status! As brilliant as they’ve ever been. Catch ‘em if you can! #Squeeze

‘Shwmae i ti, Caerdydd’. Great gig from the Manics at Cardiff Castle. Lost count of the number of times I've seen them live... always brilliant. Nice touch from Nicky, dedicating ‘Theme from M*A*S*H’ to Donald Sutherland, reminiscing how much they loved the film. DEPOT

Farewell, to one of Canada’s finest. Was introduced to that rock blues voice on ‘Somewhere Down The Crazy River’… then discovered ‘The Weight’, ‘The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down’ and the brilliant back-catalogue of The Band. RIP Robbie Robertson. 💔
