Ffordd Sain in Llanrwst with Community Music Wales

Our CMW tutors Martin Daws and Owen Maclean visited Llanrwst Youth Club from September through to Christmas. The sessions started off as a very casual drop in, where the young people talked about what Llanrwst meant to them, and issue within the local area.

County Lines was often brought up as a problem, so the young people started creating short rap verses and played around with the creation of beats and rhythms to start slowly building up their confidence week by week.

The song they decided to submit for Ffordd Sain is a light-hearted look at the difference in a weekday to the weekend. There’s also a prophetic video of what an impartial BBC News bulletin might look like when zombies finally take over the area, just a few days after Wales winning the Football World Cup!
