about

Showcase Wales has been running on GTFM for more than a decade. The show has been there to give a platform to play music from some truly incredible artists that would not usually be played on the radio because they do not have a well known name. We have always aimed to play the best unsigned music that wales has to offer. Over the years that I have been part of the show we have had some brilliant live sessions from the bands who come on the show to play us their tracks. Around October 2015 I was listening to some of these live session tracks and decided that something should be done with them. Last year some of my friends lost their parents to cancer at a young age and a relative of mine was diagnosed with bowel and liver cancer too. I thought "this is unfair, no one deserves this." The station is a charity that is run by volunteers and in need of funding to continue broadcasting. I decided I wanted to do something to protect the show I love and help raise funds for those suffering with this awful disease. After listening to the sessions I decided to use these and put an album together. The Showcase Wales sessions album was born. I have worked through the sessions from the last couple of years and received confirmation from the artists that we can use the acoustic version of their tracks that were recorded on the show. Gradually we built a collection of 40 amazing tracks by 40 incredible artists who were all incredibly willing to help. The album includes Houdini Dax, The People The Poet, Remembering August, Ellie Makes Music, the Texas Flood, Falling with Style, Rusty Shackle and many others. The album will be available to download from bandcamp here showcasewales.bandcamp.com/releases for £4 (that's 10p a song) with all proceeds split evenly between a cancer charity and GTFM. We have an album launch night February 5th in clwb y bont with the Texas flood and the Undivided with tickets £3 each. Cancer seems to be at the forefront of people's mind with the loss of Lemmy, Bowie and Alan Rickman plus it is a great album so you gain too!
