    Tom Jones - the coal miners son
    Bonnie Tyler - I loved her old stuff like Heartache and Lost in France
    .... and the Manics of course - but didn’t they release a song about ‘Beating the English’? If that was an English band releasing a song about beating Welsh, Scots or Irish I expect it would have been banned amid huge controversy.
    Isn’t Duffy Welsh? And then there’s Cerys Matthews.
    You could also add the entire population of Welsh Rugby fans - their singing is always superb - it must be in their blood

    Although BASED in Oz, weren’t the Young brothers actually Scottish? And Johnson is a Geordie isn’t he?
    Not sure about Bon Scott - perhaps he was Aussie - but sadly he passed on, so are AC/DC actually technically an Aussie band or British? (Nitpicking I know!!)

    The Young Brothers were born in Glasgow, Bon Scott was Australian by birth, Brian Johnson was born just outside Newcastle upon Tyne and
    Phil Rudd (the original drummer 1975-1983 and again later for another spell) is also Australian.

    XTC from Swindon. I often bump into Andy Partridge (pre COVID) in my local Spanish Tapas bar and we exchange pleasantries.
    Another band which plays often in Swindon but was actually formed in Torquay is Wishbone Ash.
    There’s Billie Piper - a better actress than singer!
    Gilbert O Sullivan - I drink with his brother-in-law.
    Although the BAND was formed in Birmingham, Justin Hayward - the lead singer and songwriter from the Moody Blues, was born in - and still lives in Swindon.

    Did you know John Cale who formed the Velvet Underground with Lou Reed was Welsh.

    Born and raised in the Amman Valley and a way out serial nutter for most of his career.

    One of my old Managers was in a 1960s group called Ian & The Zodiacs where he was the drummer. The released a few records too.
    They were from Liverpool and toured England and Hamburg in Germany at the same time as the Beatles.

    Feeder was classed as a Newport band, but Grant is from Chepstow on Pwllmeyric hill. I know his cousins but Grant went to school in Monmouth. We probably knew each other as there is only 2 years apart and I lived in Mathern the next village to his and my paper round was in his location.

    Wasn’t that peado’s band from Newport?
