The Story of Miwsig

Huw Stephens and Sian Eleri time travel through the history of Welsh language pop music. Tracing Welsh language music's epic journey from the chapels to the charts.

Huw Stephens and Sian Eleri time travel through the history of Welsh language pop music. Available exclusively on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds, the six-part series traces Welsh language music's journey from the chapels to the charts, featuring interviews with the instigators at the heart of the story and new artists making noise in their native language. Digging deep into decades from the 1960s onwards, it’s a story of rock and revolution, protest, prison and punk rock. It's a story of how the underground emerged and gave voices from the margins the microphone. From the eisteddfodau to the Cool Cymru years, guests including Rhys Ifans, Dafydd Iwan, Gwenno, Euros Childs, Heather Jones, Gruff Rhys, Pat Morgan, Caryl Parry Jones and Eadyth tell the unheard tales of how one of Europe’s oldest tongues took on the establishment and became a platform for some of today’s best new music.
