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
02:45I saved my cover and building
02:57To remind people you who need to go
02:57For more blocks
02:57To make私
02:59And there was a time we couldn't
03:01To avoid theôms
03:07To avoid passing
03:08With курva
03:08To make Fun
03:20I lost the water
03:24I lost the water
03:40And I heard the point over
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
04:14And then we had our first gig in 2019
04:17The end of 2019, right?
04:20Tell 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 and my picks and all the strings
04:34And I'm like, everything's on my 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
04:46People 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, so
04:57It was just a bit slapdash
04:59Just trying it out
05:00I think one thing about us is like
05:02We don't 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
05:19Gok Wan, isn't it?
05:21Gok Wan, yeah, of 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 stopped for two hours a day
05:40Not enough to keep the red finger shame away
05:42If my stomach gets flat and my ass is perky
05:45Maybe I could get everybody to like me
05:47Be just for dinner
05:48Star with yourself
05:49Trimming into the steps on the show
05:51Filled 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 yours
06:02Enjoy the view
06:05I look good
06:06This is all I do
06:09If I use yours
06:10Enjoy the view
06:14I squat for five hours a day
06:18Fat or pregnant
06:20Thin or dying
06:21What would the tabloids say?
06:23And I throw up everything I need
06:27Cause nothing tastes as good as skinny feels
06:32I score for 12 hours a day
06:34And the weapons you have to fall on a belly chain
06:36And all I count upon the count of grief
06:39The reflux just got these magazines
06:41Hooking brains when you look the bones like mine
06:43And this is from your mind
06:45I'm nothing to refine
06:46Something's really fine
06:47Because I'm nothing's on the scale
06:48Something never has to go through the skinny feels
06:50I look good
06:52I look good
06:52This is all I do
06:54I find your job
06:56And it's like a girl
06:59I look good
07:01This is all I do
07:03I find your job
07:05And it's like a girl
07:08You wanna be the smallest girl that's ever lived
07:12You wanna go down in history for being thin
07:17You wanna be the smallest girl that's ever lived
07:22You wanna go down in history for being thin
07:45I look good
07:47I look good
07:47This is all I do
07:50And how you've gone
07:51It's like a girl
07:54I look good
07:56This is all I do
07:58My body is yours
08:00It's all I do
08:02Now this next band are one of the most popular live bands in Wales
08:13Their album is Mill on the Hill
08:15Normally the absurdness pop is quite theatrical
08:19And a lot of fun to watch on stage
08:22Now tonight it'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
08:34The adoration began at five
08:41On the 6th of May
08:44T'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
09:00Tipped away the trickle of flowers
09:04Not sure of the kind
09:06But you never tickled my interest you see
09:21One day my dear mother
09:23She would cry
09:25She said I'm worried about the digital addiction
09:29Do you realise this isn't real life
09:32This is just another fantasy
09:34On my job
09:36With the throne
09:37Eyes on the coffin
09:39But it's falling to keep
09:42Eyes back on the ultimate times
09:44Let's complete the best love only in me
10:11It's racist around my brain
10:14Oh, oh, oh
10:20Please don't leave me
10:23It keeps racing around my brain
10:26Oh, oh
10:30You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen
10:35Well, I suppose I could step outside
10:38I could climb up in my 30-door window
10:43But I'm not sure of the point
10:45I've never been to see
10:46Which benefits it gets him indeed
10:48Yes, I'm in love with the virtual times
10:51From the mountain I've looked into the people
10:56This is the real life
10:58This is not some fantasy
11:13Thank you very much
11:16Thank 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
11:47And blends the electronica with the ethereal to devastating effect
11:52This is Roche
11:53Oh, oh
12:12Oh, oh
12:15This is Roche
12:43Satsang with Mooji
12:46Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
13:25Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
13:53Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
14:17Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
14:36Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
15:17Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
15:34Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
15:53Oh, oh, oh, oh.
16:23Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
16:31Oh, oh, oh, oh.
16:42Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
17:25Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
17:42Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
18:29Oh, oh, oh, oh.
18:38Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
20:54Thank you very much.
20:55Is it 25 different albums, records that you've been involved with since 1988, you said, recently?
21:02Yes, more now, I think.
21:03And that's taken in the Furries by Catalog, Fat Coffee, Paube, Neon, Neon and your solo records.
21:10The latest is Dim Probs.
21:13Is this your most political record to date, would you say?
21:17I think it's very personal.
21:19I think there's political elements, but from a very personal perspective.
21:24I mean, the world is in a terrible state.
21:26On top of that, I was in a bleak mood recording it, so the lyrics paint quite a dark picture.
21:33But for some reason, this year, I'm feeling much more optimistic.
21:39So it's a bit of a curio for me.
21:42I'm not sure what's going through my head.
21:45The record's sung in Welsh.
21:47How's the record gone down on your tours across America?
21:51Because you've played this quite a bit around North America.
21:53I mean, I find people are receptive, generally, to any language, you know.
22:00Yeah, it's the most immediate way of expression for me.
22:04And it's truly a reflection of what goes on in my head.
22:09And in a way, maybe singing in English is more performative.
22:16And in a way, maybe singing in English is more performative.
22:44Because I think we all feel like a part of that.
22:49And in a way, I think we'll fight in English.
22:56And what else?
23:04When I was in English, I think wecja say a bit.
23:12I'm sure we'll see you next time in English.
23:13When I llegué here.
29:27like one from a bigger stage to it's a smaller venue but we're really excited for that
29:39writing only hits played softly from their fingertips bringing punk back some angels
29:49dress in black singing in a sky just did a week in the angel is it called the angel angel
29:57hotel
29:58that was an acoustic show and i've done a couple of wee band shows throughout the town throughout the
30:04weekend it's always been like a bucket list or a goal to come to other voices it's brilliant to
30:14see a local artist get recognition through this festival and it's so amazing to be able to be
30:19part of it now
30:29thank you very much i've been george christian back now this one's called foot to the floor
30:42i just play the set with the band i'm i'm part of called afro cluster and we had a wicket
30:47time
30:51one of the you know my favorite things about other voices and being here in cardigan is
30:55a band plays here and and plays another gig you know and quite possibly catch them if you miss the
31:00you know half a set this is my third brother voices feels like it's getting better every year

31:21pretty good like and it's cool that they're really kind of bumping like what's this like a pizza place
31:26or something not tonight it wasn't
31:29i get to see like a really wide range of different types of acts there's a lot of festivals at
31:51the
31:51minute they kind of they're very curated to be one kind of a thing
31:55the voice of their voice is a little bit more grassrootsy
31:59i'm yet to go explore it so that's kind of what i want to go do now
32:05i'm looking forward to seeing who's playing learning something new stealing some ideas
32:18this is great to see the welsh and irish artists having this this sort of exchange just the energy
32:24that you get from kelps in general it's such a nice feel here i feel like everyone's here for the
32:29music
32:30people care they want to listen to you they want to know about who you are
32:33no matter the genre of music it's really cool

36:29Our next performer, he's making his other voices debut tonight, please go wild for Masterpiece!
36:59Outside in a bit, looking for a stick to cross. I remember it, how they used to look at us.
37:15I don't know how far we've gone, lost in the beginning.
37:24The most hope we never know, lost in the beginning.
37:32Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, just in the beginning.
37:40Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
37:45oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

38:07oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
38:07oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
38:14I know you want to see me tonight, but you'll be free.
38:18Oh my, I want to go, once we begin, yeah.
38:26Oh, we never know, once we begin, yeah.
38:34Oh, oh, oh, just it begins, yeah.
38:42Oh, oh, oh, just it begins.
38:49When I rock my rakers on the train, make change from the stage.
38:54Us and them, one on the same.
38:57Pull the arms before our blades, fly your voice until you pray.
39:01Us and them, one on the same.
39:04Yeah, so bad how far it goes to be easy
39:12No, son, we never know, life's to be easy
39:39You Vagabond, Brian and Dermot, how are you both?
39:42Very good
39:42Welcome back to Wales
39:44You've played it quite a bit over the years
39:46Yeah, we have, yeah
39:46It was, yeah, one of the first places outside of Ireland
39:49It was the first place outside of Ireland that we played, actually
39:52There was a band
39:54Cowboys Ross Botanag
39:56Oh, yeah, great
39:56Three brothers, yeah
39:58And basically one of them organised the gigs and drove us around
40:01One of them did sound and one of them opened first
40:03So, and we just drove around in their van
40:05And everywhere we played was exclusively Welsh speaking
40:08Like there was, like, not a word of English spoken
40:10Except directly to us
40:12And then, it was brilliant
40:13It was fun, yeah, we really loved it
40:15Yeah, it was deadly
40:16So that was Celtic Brothers looking after Celtic Brothers
40:18Yeah
40:19That's what it felt like to us, yeah
40:21And you've got a new album
40:23It's been a while
40:24Yeah, it took us a while to get not busy after Nine Waves
40:28We had to decide to stop playing gigs for a while
40:32Because, I don't know, I think we probably hit it too hard for a wee while
40:35Then we were like, right, okay, let's take a full year, really
40:39And, yeah, it's been an interesting time
40:41We basically spent a year writing kind of like a job, you know
40:44At one point we had about 40-something songs
40:47That we then kind of whittled down and whittled down and whittled down
40:49And then some of them transformed into each other
40:52And, yeah, it was lovely
40:53It was an amazing process
40:54I wonder with all your travelling and all the gigging that you've done
40:58Has there been any surprising moments for you as Ye Vagabonds
41:02When you've played these songs in front of an audience?
41:05There have been
41:06I know, the standout one
41:08The biggest one for us
41:09Well, there's one of the songs, Mayfly
41:11Which is on a new album
41:13It feels like the smallest song on the album in a way
41:16As in it's very paired down, you know
41:19So it's kind of like
41:20It's almost a cappella
41:21It starts off a cappella
41:22We actually, we sing it now like completely a cappella
41:25And so we opened for Dermot Kennedy
41:27There was a big line-up gig in Boston last year
41:30That was for 25,000 people in a big arena
41:33So we were kind of, we thought
41:35Let's just try out that song
41:37You know, we were trying out a couple of the new songs
41:39And we thought we would try it
41:41Didn't know how that would work
41:42Because it's such a small, paired back
41:44You kind of think maybe you're going to do the biggest
41:47Fullest, faciest, whatever
41:48Songs that you can do to try to fill the space
41:50But as soon as we started it, we both felt this
41:53You know, it felt huge
41:55Just our two voices and the whole
41:57Yeah, the room just went really quiet
41:59And we were like, wow, this song has
42:01Like, got more to it than we thought, you know
42:04Yeah, it was a bit of
42:05That was an interesting moment
42:06Like, you notice these things when
42:08When you take songs out and start playing them live anyway
42:11It's like, they take on a new meaning
42:13They're not yours anymore as well
42:15Like, they stop being about our lives
42:17What we wrote them about
42:18And becomes about whatever people
42:20However people relate to them
42:22You know, it doesn't really
42:23In a way, it doesn't really matter anymore
42:25What we wrote the songs about
42:27So, yeah, when they grab people
42:29And then turn into something else
42:31It's a really amazing moment
42:32But that was a big one
42:33Long after midnight
42:37Crossed in the lampline
42:41Pouring out a distillation
42:46Of hope and desperation
42:49She was grey-eyed
42:52I was tongue-tied
42:56And when she thought I wasn't looking
43:00She'd smile like she had nothing left to hide
43:08Mary got away, though
43:11Went off chasing rainbows
43:15Never made it till they'd buy
43:18Living like a mayfly
43:21Waking from a strange dream
43:25Wonder what it all means
43:28See her tumble in a free fall
43:32Was she really there at all
43:39Straight from a hard night
43:42Into the daylight
43:48Wasn't for the first time
43:50All she needed was a lifeline
43:54Just the right friend
43:57Steady on a tight bend
44:01Never let the sight down
44:04Could've made it back to dry ground
44:08In the end
44:11Mary got away, though
44:14Went off chasing rainbows
44:18Never made it till they'd buy
44:21Living like a mayfly
44:25Waking from a strange dream
44:28Wonder what it all means
44:32See her tumble in a free fall
44:35Was she really there at all
45:05Needle in the hay start
45:07Needle in the hay start
45:07Never found a way back
45:14Lonely dogs keep prowling
45:17Heavy winds go howling through the price
45:23Mary got away though
45:27Went off chasing rainbows
45:30Never made it to the labor
45:33Living like a mage boy
45:37Waking from a strange dream
45:41Wonder what it all means
45:44See her tumble in a free fall
45:47Was she really there now?
45:51Mary got away though
45:54Went off chasing rainbows
45:58Never made it to the labor
46:01Living like a mage boy
46:05Waking from a strange dream
46:09Wonder what it all means
46:12See her tumble in a free fall
46:15Was she really there at all?
46:41I'm going to end with a band who formed some seven years ago but their debut album only came out
46:45this year and it smashed into the top 40
46:48There's no one quite like them
46:49They're my panic shack
46:50I wake up
46:51I taste the guilt
46:53Let's get a coffee
46:54Before I stand it
46:56Sit outside
46:57Smoke a road
46:58Sunny shining
46:59People watching
47:00Beans of me
47:01We've got a problem
47:02We get hyped
47:04We get hyped
47:05We get hyped
