Sorry Dar, I’m not sure but he is very proud of his roots. He’s been coming to our club since he was very young.

Quite a shock that the award ceremony is moved out of London for the first time and it was held in Newcastle. I wonder where Sam Fender is from!
Joe was never going to win as this album is too ‘niche’, but great that he was nominated.

Good luck Joe.

What part of Neath?

Not sure if he’s originally from there, but he certainly lived around Bryncoch for many years.

Thank you Sir.

This is a strong contender to be #1 in my Spotify wrap of 2025. A beautiful song with a wonderful contribution from the lovely Olivia Dean.
