00:00Oh, this is Tom Jones, and I think that's...
00:02Oh, wait, what, there was... That lady, what was her name?
00:08Shirley Bassey? No.
00:10It's Tom Jones, really.
00:12That's the only one I can think of off the top of my head.
00:15Erm...
00:17No, I don't think they're represented enough, really.
00:20I'm not very good when it comes to, erm,
00:23knowing where people are from, either,
00:24so I'll probably do no more, but...
00:27Catfish and Bottom Man. Catfish and Bottom Man.
00:29I know they're North Wales, but I don't know many other...
00:34Other than my friend's one, he's from Swansea,
00:37called Motel Thieves.
00:39Shout-out Callum.
00:41Oh, well, obviously the go-to would be Max Boyce,
00:44Tom Jones, or Stereophonics.
00:46Those are my absolute go-tos.
00:49But, yeah, that comes straight to mind, so...
00:52Well, I mean, I guess you could say Mr Traumatic, but, yeah.
00:56And who's Mr Traumatic? Tell me about that.
00:58He does... He's a rapper who does German bass.
01:02I would... Yeah, more German bass, a bit of grime,
01:05but, yeah, he majority does German bass, yeah.
01:07I don't know how big he is in comparison to, like,
01:10other, like, rappers in the UK,
01:13but I think in terms of, like, Welsh rappers,
01:16he's got to be the biggest. Yeah, I would say so, yeah.
01:19Who's that opera singer lady that has CDs always in the charity shop?
01:22Catherine Jenkins? Yeah. Yeah.
01:23She's got a CD of her own.
01:25Yeah, she's a classic. Yeah.
01:26Charlotte Church.
01:28Um...
01:30Who else is there? Is there Duffy?
01:33Is Duffy Welsh?
01:35How do you not know she was Welsh? I did not know that.
01:38Um...
01:39But, yeah, I didn't realise there was that many artists
01:42that were from Wales. Yeah.
01:44I mean, if, like, the locals support their local artists,
01:47then hopefully things are going to be right.
01:48And, you know, it's not the end of the world.
01:50People still manage to succeed and make it to the big venues
01:53and, you know, be lucky enough to even support Stereophonics,
01:57as such, so...
