Masters in France formed in 2009, and in less that a year they went from rehearsals in a shabby unit in the backstreets of Bangor to hearing their songs played on Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show. Later this year they will be performing at the Eisteddfod’s Maes B and at the Faenol Festival 2010. Their first Welsh EP, Nagazaki, is out now. more info |

mr huw challenges genre and boundaries; he combines and arranges his music effectively and does so with great imagination and skilled musical expression. He presents bare electronic beats, sometimes hypnotic, but it is mr huw’s lyrical and imagery skills that make him a great musician.
