00:00Dingo, a heavy attack on the level of the world!
00:31Welcome back to another episode of Other Voices, and this is a very special one. Where are we going, Hugh?
00:36Well, we're going home to my home, Wales, from the west coast of Ireland to the west coast of Cymru.
00:41Cymru, Amber.
00:42D'ar jawn, Mekie.
00:43D'ar jawn, Ani Mac. Very good. Yeah, it was there, and it was wonderful, a really special weekend.
00:50Yeah, we have such an amazing array of performances for you. All these brilliant artists who descended on Cardigan for
00:56the weekend.
00:57But let's start with Carlo's Finest. This is Ye Vagabonds.
01:12Bells ringing in the buttered yard
01:15Evicted this morn, thought you might have heard
01:19At five in the morning they caught their way
01:23We were singing in the kitchen when the bailiffs charged
01:27We were the only those wild things played
01:30Airfoot dancing in the concrete coast
01:34Swimming in a river of smoke and serotonin
01:37Our forgotten city of glitter and blowers
01:40I watched the water rise
01:50And I held my cover maybe for too long
02:05There was a time we kept each other floating
02:08All tied together, falling up and down
02:11Thought for a time we could all back to float
02:14But the old river rose and swallowed our town
02:17There was a time we didn't get an answer
02:21I said all the things I was bad at the start
02:24You cut me loose and drifted away
02:27Tried and failed, wandered apart
02:30I watched the water rise
02:40And I held my cover maybe for too long
02:47Put me in the water down
02:52But the Jared andабат
02:52And that's why it'd be Spencer
02:52So, let's take a look at Dieu
03:15Retreatbli
03:20I wash the water
03:24Rise and I have my cover
03:29I wash the water
03:36Rise and I have my cover
03:42Maybe for too long
03:58What a year it's been for Panic Shack
04:02But take us back to the beginning, Sarah
04:04How and when did you form?
04:06So we formed in 2018
04:09When we tried just to do something
04:12Because the girls had to learn the guitars and everything
04:15And then we had our first gig in 2019
04:17The end of 2019
04:19Tell us about the early gigs then, Emily
04:22Like the first Panic Shack ones
04:23What do you remember about them?
04:26Not knowing what I was doing at all
04:27I remember being like
04:29I can't hear anything
04:30I'm like my amp's not even on or something
04:32Or like I start playing
04:33And my picks and all the strings
04:34And I'm like everything's out of tune
04:36But it was like a baptism of fire
04:38Because none of us could really play
04:39It was crazy
04:40We were just figuring it out on the go
04:42But weirdly everyone seemed to like it
04:45It seemed
04:46People were like
04:47The chaos
04:47Filling out the room straight away
04:49And you're like
04:49Why are there all these people here?
04:52We had like four songs
04:54Of our own
04:55Three covers
04:56Yeah
04:56So it was just a bit slapdash
04:59Just trying it out
05:00I think one thing about us is like
05:02We done wait for perfection
05:03We just kind of like
05:04Let's get up
05:05And let's do it
05:06Make a fool of ourselves
05:07Yeah
05:07Do that a lot
05:08Yeah
05:08Tell me a little bit about the topics on the record
05:12Because there's some proper feminist topics on the album
05:17Body shaming, yes
05:18That's the topic of the song Gok Wan, isn't it?
05:21Gok Wan, yeah
05:22Of course
05:22Like we grew up in the noughties
05:24Where every show was about your weight, your looks
05:29Yeah, we just had so much pent up feelings about that
05:33And we thought let's get it out there
05:34And Gok Wan, I think, did it well
05:37Yeah
05:38I scoff for two hours a day
05:40Not enough to keep the red
05:41Bring your shame away
05:42If someone gets flat
05:43And my ass is perky
05:45Maybe I could get everybody to like me
05:47Be just for dinner
05:48Starving yourself
05:49Training as you're done
05:50Back on the shelf
05:51Filled with stripes and skipping meals
05:54Never takes as good as skinny feels
05:56I look good
05:57This is all I do
06:00If I use your
06:02Me try from you
06:05I look good
06:06This is all I do
06:09My body is yours
06:10It's like a few
06:14I scoff for five hours a day
06:18Fat or pregnant
06:20Thin or dying
06:21What would the tabloid say?
06:23And I throw up everything I need
06:27Cause nothing tastes as good as skinny feels
06:32I scoff for 12 hours a day
06:34I'm a weapon to have people on a belly day
06:36And all I tell
06:38I'm having a cat or breathe
06:39The red box is your fluffy magazine
06:41Put these brains when you look at the bones I'm mine
06:43And then there's a real smile
06:45I'm nothing to refine
06:46Nothing's really mad
06:47Because nothing's all I feel
06:48Something never takes as good as skinny feels
06:50I look good
06:52I look good
06:52This is all I do
06:54I look good
07:00This is all I do
07:03My body is yours
07:05And it's like a few
07:06I look good
07:10This is all I do
07:22I look good
07:26I look good
07:27I look good
07:45I look good
08:08This is all I do
08:17Absurd
08:17This pop
08:18Is quite theatrical
08:19And a lot of fun to watch on stage
08:22Now tonight
08:22It's fun
08:23But it's also very special
08:25Something a bit more subdued
08:27From the Cardiff-based band
08:29Who've toured all around Europe
08:31Here they are at Other Voices
08:33It's Melon Melon
08:34Here a depression
08:36Began at five
08:41On the 6th of May
08:44It was a Sunday
08:51Can't remember the year
08:53I don't tend to think of things annually
08:56And there you were
08:58Before my eyes
09:01Tipped away the trickle of flowers
09:04Not sure of the kind
09:06Flory
09:07Don't you laugh
09:07And tickle my interest
09:09You see
09:09One day my dear mother
09:23She'd have cried
09:25She said
09:26I'm worried about your digital addiction
09:29Do you realise
09:30This isn't real life
09:32This is just another fantasy
09:35On my job
09:36In the throne
09:37Ice on the coffin
09:39But it's falling to keep
09:42Ice back on the ultimate times
09:44Let's complete the best
09:45Of only a meal
10:11It's wasted around my brain
10:14It's wasted around my brain
10:15Oh...
10:16Tired of a man
10:16Oh, please don't leave me, it keeps racing around my world.
10:30You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
10:35Well, I suppose I could step outside, I could climb up and find dirty, don't we, don't we?
10:43But I'm not sure of the point I've never been, see which benefits it fits in indeed.
10:49Yes, I'm in love with your child's eyes, from the mountain I've looked into the people.
10:56This is the real life, this is not some fantasy.
11:25Thank you very much.
11:38This next artist is seen as one of the most exciting emerging out of Ireland of late.
11:44She's from the Shannos tradition of singing and blends the electronica with the ethereal to devastating effect.
11:52This is Roche.
12:28Save The Haruga
12:29Those who come and worship the Sleep
12:36Look at all the nations and ens Broadly
12:38You find all the nations that we cannot信 West

18:58I can say
27:02I already kicked this bucket once
27:03I played it cool but I'm the chance to run
27:06I'm getting sober and sitting around the truck
27:10Stick to my stomach in the woods
27:13Easy cause I already kicked this bucket once
27:16I played it cool but I'm the chance to run
27:19I'm getting sober and sitting around the truck
27:22Stick to my stomach in the woods
27:30I'm getting sober and sitting around the truck
27:32You could break all of my bones
27:35Just to take all of your calls
27:38Since you came up on a smile
27:40I believe you came up
27:43I might admit this, I'm sorry
27:46You took death and you thought I'd get
27:50You would not get to show yourself
27:53And you would not get to show yourself
27:57Easy to lie, you need to fucking run
27:59I'm ready to go, I'm ready to touch my mind
28:02I'm getting started, I'm ready to run the trust
28:05Since you came up on a smile
28:08You need to make a change for the world
28:11I'm ready to go, I'm ready to run
28:15I'm getting started, I'm ready to run the trust
28:17Since you came up on a smile
28:20I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go
28:37One of the exciting things when other voices comes to town
28:41Is that there's music everywhere
28:43Not just on the main stage in St Mary's Church
28:46Here in Cardigan
28:47But in the venues and the nooks and crannies
28:50All over this very special place
28:53It's called the Music Trail
28:55And it's full of some incredible talent
29:04I'm Gethin from the band Workhouse
29:06I play bass and keys
29:07And yeah, we're here in Llesiai Arryll
29:09In Aberteifi
29:10And we're so excited for this weekend
29:13It's great, great
29:18We just played at Muldan
29:20I think we were the first act on
29:21Which was really cool
29:22And then we're on to a cellar next
29:25Which will be a stark contrast, I think
29:27Like one from a bigger stage to a smaller venue
29:30But we're really excited for that
29:39Riding only hits
29:41Played softly from their fingertips
29:45Bringing punk back
29:47Some angels dress in black
29:51Singing in a skirt
29:53I just did a week in The Angel
29:55Is it called The Angel?
29:56Angel Hotel
29:57That was an acoustic show
29:59And I've done a couple of wee band shows
30:02Throughout the town
30:03Throughout the weekend
30:07It's always been like a bucket list
30:10Or a goal to come to other voices
30:12It's brilliant to see a local artist
30:15Get recognition through this festival
30:17And it's so amazing to be able to be part of it now
30:41I just played the set with the band I'm part of
30:44Called Afro Cluster
30:46And we had a wicket time
30:51One of the, you know, my favourite things
30:53About Other Voices
30:54And being here in Cardigan
30:55Is a band plays here
30:56And plays another gig
30:58You know, and quite possibly catch them
31:00If you miss the, you know, half the set
31:06This is my third Other Voices
31:09Feels like it's getting better every year
31:18You never know what type of venue you're going to get
31:20The good thing Other Voices
31:20Other venues are pretty good
31:22And it's cool that they're really kind of vamping
31:24Like what's this, like a pizza place or something?
31:28Not tonight it wasn't
31:44I get to see like a really wide range of different types of acts
31:49There's a lot of festivals at the minute
31:51They kind of, they're very curated to be one kind of a thing
31:55Whereas Other Voices is a little bit more grass rootsy
31:59I'm yet to go explore it
32:01So that's kind of what I want to go do now
32:05I'm looking forward to seeing who's playing
32:07Learning something new
32:08Stealing some ideas
32:18This is great to see the Welsh and Irish artists
32:21Having this, this sort of exchange
32:23Just the energy that you get from Celts in general
32:27It's such a nice feel here
32:28I feel like everyone's here for the music
32:29People care, they want to listen to you
32:31They want to know about who you are
32:33No matter the genre of music
32:36It's really cool
32:49I last saw our next band supporting Fontaine's DC
32:53In the arena in Cardiff
32:55Tonight's gig is a little bit more intimate
32:57But they've just released their third album
32:59Called Cosplay
33:01Here's Sorry
33:02In the pink and the cloud
33:05You think they've just stopped
33:07And I won't let go
33:09You want
33:10Everyone else around
33:12I think they're seated in the dark
33:15For your little girls
33:16And I can say not, not
33:18Ain't got no words
33:20I think you've shut me up
33:22And I just fall for the new kid
33:25And I cross my heart and pray
33:28I'll let you find it one day
33:30Tell me what did you say
33:31I said I love you
33:33Echo, echo, echo, echo
33:36Echo, I love you
33:37Echo, echo, echo, echo
33:40I love you
33:41Echo, echo, echo, echo
33:43I love you
33:44Echo, echo, echo, echo
33:47Echo, I love you
33:48We can end it here
33:51Or we can go back to the store
33:53To control your mind
33:54When I control my thought
33:56Echo, echo, echo, echo
33:57I'll speak with you
33:58I'll speak with you
33:59I'll speak with you
34:00I'll speak with you
34:00When it felt so good
34:02When it was just in the dark
34:04I can talk all day
34:06Oh, you can just
34:07We can lie in all day
34:10Just the two parts
34:11I can hold it every day
34:14If you want it every day
34:15I can take it all the way
34:17I love you
34:19Echo, echo, echo, echo
34:21Echo, I love you
34:22Echo, echo, echo, echo
34:25Echo, echo, echo, echo
34:29I love you
34:30Echo, echo, echo, echo
43:14Of hope,
43:39We're right back.
49:09Cha-cha!
49:15Ah!
49:20Cha-cha!
49:26Yeah!
49:34Thank you so much.
49:37Next week's episode is a big one. It's our Dermot Kennedy special.
49:40He's back in Dingle to play music from his new album, The Weight of the Woods.
49:44See you then.
