Dylan Goch follows Gruff Rhys on a tour that takes in the theatres, nightclubs and desert tea houses of Wales, Brazil and the Argentine Andes as he discovers what became of his family, the Welsh Diaspora and its musical legacy.

Bento#9 - Curated by Dam Mantle
Turnstile are excited to release Bento#9, curated by Dam Mantle.
Dam Mantle talks about the tracks on his bento -
1. Becoming Real’s “Jen’s Clock”, is due to out on Ramp recordings very soon. A soundtrack to someone lost and alone in an arctic landscape, this will no doubt move dancefloors in 2010, if not physically then emotionally.
2. Young Montana, who has recently got the attention he deserves from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs will no doubt show us that he has a lot to offer in times ahead. Magnificent production from a young Coventry-based producer.
3.’Waters filthy Love’ is an absolute gem of a track from Glasgow based ‘Fox Gut Daata’.
4. Rebong is a track from my first EP, harps, synths, vocal chords and god knows what else.
Join the Turnstile Music mailing list at the top of this page to receive Bento #9 as well as past and future Bento releases.

GRUFF RHYS AND TONY DA GATORRA FORM SURPRISE COALLITION PACT
There was a shocking development today to the constitutional crisis erupting in the feudal government of the United States of Britain, a small system of islands located to the north west of the European mainland.
SHOCK!
In an unexpected maneuver songwriter and musician Gruff Rhys has formed an emergency government with Brazilian inventor and protest singer Tony Da Gatorra. It is believed they will govern in the name of stability and peace.
CRUNCH TIME FOR DEMOCRACY
Arcane titles such as Prime Minister and Chancellor will be forfitted. In a historical agreement the unelected House Of Lords will be dissolved (literally) and the royal family peacefully relieved from their titles and duties. They will not be replaced.
A BATTLE FOR PEACE.
They will govern in the spirit of hope to unburden us from the terror of cosmic loneliness. ‘Peace be with you brothers and sisters, there is no death, only light, there is no evil when it collides with good will.’ They said yesterday in a joint statement on the steps of 10 Downing st.
