Departure lounge
It seems the BBC team won’t go lonely on its flight out to Austin. Departure lounges across the UK will soon begin to fill with skinny jeans and guitar cases as indie upstarts jet off in hope of discovery.
Leading the way from Wales will be current UK number one Duffy. She’s so hot right now that the BBC has run out of shows for her to appear on. Catch up with her visit to Radio 1’s Live Lounge as well as interviews on Later… and Sound if you don’t believe me.
The Llyn Peninsula girl will be joined in Texas by promising singer-songwriter Christopher Rees, The Victorian English Gentlemen’s Club, indie-poppers Los Campesinos!, Neon Neon and The Blackout, while aptly named Cardiff five-piece People In Planes may or may not have the qualifications to man the flight home.
For more news on all things Wales check out the Welsh Music Foundation website or better still listen to Bethan on her BBC Introducing show on Radio 1.
We’ll have a look at what the good people of Scotland are up to tomorrow, But for now here's some of those Los Campesinos!
