Hi Ren

[ABSwan]

Only today come across this amazing music video by the Welsh musician Ren, loaded onto Youtube 4 months ago and already racked up over 11 million views.

Inspired by his painful journey of mental health issues made worse by being misdiagnosed for years.

He's currently being treated in Calgary, which is where I live. Stem cell treatment trying to correct the effects the wrong drugs had on him.

I've seen some of their street performances, they do a wide variety of musical styles. I expect Ren will continue as a solo artist now though as he has the momentum behind him.

Just wondering from your username, an old schoolfriend from Baglan uses the same name on Facebook, believe he had a band called the karrots, same person??

Haha, thanks for that. Haven't seen Keith since shortly after school in the 70's. Put on a bit of weight and I distinctly remember him with hair :lol: Used to quite fancy his older sister at the time too, Patricia I think.

He's an amazing artist, how he has never hit the top I'll never know.

Got a few bits of his on my phone, and an album that he does with other artists called The Big Push.
