Rhys Mwyn to present top Welsh acts at Llangollen International Eisteddfod
BBC RADIO CYMRU presenter and Welsh music pioneer Rhys Mwyn will host a special showcase of three standout Welsh artists at this year's Llangollen International Eisteddfod.
The outdoor event, 'Rhys Mwyn yn Cyflwyno / Rhys Mwyn Presents', takes place on Thursday 10 July from 4:30pm to 7:00pm and leads into the evening's headline concert by BRIT Award-winning, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter KT Tunstall. Tunstall will perform her iconic debut album Eye to the Telescope in full with orchestral backing for the first time.
Rhys Mwyn will introduce performances by Pedair, Mared and Buddug – three trailblazing artists at the forefront of modern Welsh music.
Pedair is a supergroup formed by four of Wales' most acclaimed folk artists, blending traditional roots with contemporary flair. Mared brings powerful vocals and poetic songwriting inspired by Welsh landscapes and culture, while Buddug offers a bold fusion of folk, pop and electronica, redefining the possibilities of Welsh-language music.
Rhys Mwyn said: 'I'm absolutely thrilled to present such incredible Welsh talent at this year's Eisteddfod. Pedair, Mared and Buddug are pushing creative boundaries and bringing new energy to the Welsh music scene. It's an honour to be part of this landmark festival, which has always stood as a beacon of cultural celebration. I can't wait to showcase these exceptional artists on what's expected to be one of the festival's biggest days.'

Rhys's passion for Welsh music and commitment to nurturing talent is invaluable. This collaboration broadens our cultural offering and connects us to new audiences locally and internationally.'

Welsh acting legend rejected £92,000,000 film – it then 'changed his life'
To say that Michael Sheen has led a prolific acting career might be the understatement of the century. A Welsh legend of the stage and screen, he's gained renown across the globe for his performances in productions including Good Omens, Frost/Nixon and Masters of Sex. However, one of his biggest roles in The Queen – the one that he credits for changing the trajectory of his professional life – almost didn't happen, all because he initially rejected it. On the first day of the Edinburgh TV Festival, Metro was in the audience at an illuminating talk held between Michael and Jane Tranter, TV producer and CEO of Bad Wolf, who serves as the event's advisory chair this year. During the conversation, the 56-year-old looked back on a point in his career when he was living in Los Angeles shortly after playing Tony Blair for the first time in the 2003 film The Deal. 'The extraordinary thing about that was that no one had done anything like that before,' he said of the Channel 4 production. 'At that point, if people made something about contemporary, particularly contemporary political figures, it was always satire or it wasn't taken seriously. Since then, many, many things have been done. It was a massive risk.' Even though The Deal 'went down very, very well', with David Morrissey playing Gordon Brown, Michael originally turned down the opportunity to reprise his role as the former British Prime Minister in the 2006 follow-up film The Queen. 'I remember being in Los Angeles, and I was committed to doing a play at the National Theatre, but it turns out that this film, The Queen, was going to clash with this play. I said, 'Well, I can't do this. I've given my word,'' he said. However, The Queen director Stephen Frears wasn't taking no for an answer, and chased after Michael to get him on board with the movie, which went on to make approximately $125,000,000 (the equivalent of £92,000,000 today) globally at the box office. 'I remember getting a phone call whilst I was in a supermarket in LA or something from Stephen Frears. It all got worked out, and I did that film, and that was life-changing for me,' Michael recollected. 'Living in America, living in Los Angeles particularly, and suddenly being in something that was doing very well, you realise how much living in Los Angeles is dependent on how well you do. 'So I've gone from sitting in diners reading Stephen King novels on my own completely, to then having a very different life and opening up all kinds of opportunities, back here as well as over there, and suddenly having a bit of choice. That was transformative.' During the interview at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Michael also opened up about the importance of supporting young people across Wales who aspire to careers in acting, having recently launched the Welsh National Theatre company. More Trending He explained how his family always supported his ambitions when he was growing up, and how he'd never questioned the possibility of making it as an actor, as he'd witnessed Richard Burton and Sir Anthony Hopkins, who also both hailed from Port Talbot, soaring to stardom. 'One of the things I've realised as time has gone on is how important it is to see where you come from, represented on the world stage, and to know that it's possible,' he stated. 'I never questioned whether you could be successful as an actor, because Burton and Hopkins were and they came from this town.' 'It does worry me that, for young people who might want to get into this, if you are relying on the bank of mum and dad or… it's really tough to even just go and move to London, or move to wherever these places are. That's why it's so important to get stuff out of London and around the country.' Got a story?

Corrie's Todd Grimshaw trapped in dark spiral as horrifying Theo twist revealed
Exclusive: Coronation Street actor Gareth Pierce, who plays Todd Grimshaw, is stepping into one of his darkest storylines so far, and his family can hardly bear to watch Instead of lapping up his latest dramatic storyline, Corrie actor Gareth Pierce says his family can hardly bear to watch it. Likewise, fans who originally championed the romance between his character, Todd Grimshaw and hunky scaffolder Theo Silverton, have warned him to steer clear of his new love. Tortured Theo (James Cartwright), left his wife and kids after falling for undertaker Todd, having suppressed his homosexuality since undergoing conversion therapy at the hands of Noah Hedley (Richard Winsor), a church clerk, who is now dating his ex. And in a shocking twist, viewers will see Theo becoming increasingly abusive towards Todd - isolating him from his family and friends, before turning to violence. Gareth, who has played Todd for five years, tells the Mirror: "My wife and daughter dip into Coronation Street occasionally and they're hugely supportive, but this story will be a very uncomfortable watch for any family member of mine. "Even my parents may find moments that they don't really enjoy watching. Todd is in danger. Theo's behaviour is becoming increasingly controlling, and there's a moment coming up where it becomes physically abusive for the first time. There's a line that has definitely been crossed; it will be hard to watch.' The relationship will turn violent next month, after Theo makes Todd promise not to speak to vicar Billy Mayhew - his ex-boyfriend-turned close friend - anymore. When Theo returns home one evening to find the place empty, he is furious to discover that Todd is in the pub with Billy, and so downs a bottle of brandy before violently confronting the undertaker on his return. Revealing the reaction of Corrie fans, Gareth says: 'When I'm out doing my shopping, people come up and say, 'That Theo's no good, you want to get out!' I'll reply,' You might be right, we'll have to see, but I do as I'm told, I'm not the writer!'' Gareth, 44, was born in Pwllheli, north Wales, where he lived until he was nine. 'My dad was in the military, so we moved around quite a lot as a family after that – not just in the UK, but also in Europe. I speak fluent Welsh and English, and my French, German and Italian are pretty good too,' he says. A bit of a class joker, he says this encouraged his teachers to put him on stage when he was 11. 'I really lived for making my mates laugh,' he recalls. 'It occurred to the school to stick me on stage. Once I had this outlet for that side of my personality, I calmed down.' At 16, he was accepted into the National Youth Theatre in London, before studying at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. His first TV role was in 2002 in the BBC Wales series First Degree. He was also in the S4C series Caerdydd for four years, saying: 'I started out playing a lot of geeks, but I then played a soldier coming back from Iraq in the feature film Cymru Fach, which was the first more hard-edged character. I was able to root that quite a lot in my childhood, growing up in a military family. On the back of that, I was in a series called Y Pris, playing a sociopathic skinhead – he was horrible.' In turn, he says this landed him a year-long role as Lenny Mac, an abusive drug dealer and jailbird in Stella, which had an all-star cast led by Ruth Jones. He also enjoyed theatre work, including a stint at London's Globe Theatre and in 2020 joined the cast of Radio 4's The Archers as Gavin, the son of Philip Moss. Later that year, he joined Corrie, playing Todd, replacing Bruno Langley, who had left the show. 'I knew there were going to be plenty of eyes on the re-cast and whether it was going to work or not,' Gareth acknowledges. 'But I saw it as a great opportunity to play a character who was established and complex and had these rich shared histories with other characters. 'I watched the previous actor's depiction, so I could zone in on some of his key traits, but then it became about building my own performance and focusing on things that came more naturally to me as a performer, rather than trying to match the previous depiction.' And Todd's character has come full circle, starting as a sneaky schemer and now revealing his vulnerable side after meeting Theo. Gareth warns that the couple's relationship will become increasingly abusive over the coming weeks and months, revealing: 'It's emotional control and body image. Theo has already tried to get Todd on a fitness kick, and he starts to make the odd comment about Todd's body. Theo is fighting on a few fronts to chip away at Todd's self-esteem. 'Further down the road, there's financial control. It's very frustrating for the audience. They just want to shout, 'run!' I think that's quite close to real life. We can be objective about other people's relationships sooner than we can be about our own. 'So, the audience is a little further ahead than Todd in recognising what's going on. The audience is also party to a couple of occasional sadistic glances from Theo that Todd doesn't see.' James Cartwright and Gareth - who were both in The Archers - have found the storyline intense at times. 'Between scenes we get a cuppa together and have a good laugh,' Gareth says. 'You need that when the story is quite dark. James is a genuinely lovely guy in real life, so it can't be easy playing such a sadistic character.' In real life, Gareth loves keeping fit and unwinds from work with endurance sports, including cycling, swimming, hiking, trail running and triathlons. 'I'll always try to put that into my day if I can,' he says. 'I try to organise at least one charity event a year. This year, I've done a Cardiff to Tenby 100-mile bike ride to raise money for Noah's Ark Children's Hospital in Cardiff. I also partner with Age UK, and two years ago, I did the SAS Fan Dance, which is based on part of the SAS selection course.' Gareth is also a talented singer and musician. He's been in several bands over the years, including the indie group Hafaliadau = Equations, which released a Welsh-speaking album in 2008. Also the drummer in two heavy metal bands – Survivalists and Brandyman - he says: 'We had quite a cult following. I had a Freddie Mercury moustache and wore sleeveless tops. 'I've always been into heavy metal, punk and hardcore, and I worked for Rock Sound magazine for quite a few years. I miss it; I'm planning to get an electronic drum kit soon.' Eagle-eyed Corrie fans noticed in a recent episode two tattoos on Todd's calves, which he had done during his heavy metal days. 'There was always a part of me that wanted tattoos, but another part of me thought they weren't great for an actor, because they can get you typecast,' he says. 'I waited until eight years ago and decided to get them on my legs, so they're not always visible. There are a few different bits, but primarily there's a stag with a rising sun and an owl with a moon. They do have some significance, but I also just like that neo-traditional style. 'We've always shot around them on screen. Then, more recently, we decided that there was no real reason that Todd couldn't have explored some tattoo culture off-screen during his London years!'

Prince William and Kate Middleton's isolated Welsh home
Prince William and Kate Middleton's isolated Welsh home Prince William and Kate Middleton have lived in some beautiful places over the years, including Wales They lived at the large farmhouse Bodorgan Hall (Image: Spread Pictures) There's been lots of chatter surrounding Prince William and Kate Middleton's living arrangements, as the royal couple announced their plans to move into their brand new forest lodge home later this year, which is an eight-bedroom home on the Windsor Castle estate with their three children. William and Kate have lived in their current home in Adelaide Cottage since 2022 after they moved from Kensington Palace. It's safe to say they have had some impressive homes over they years, including a period living in Wales for one chapter of their lives. The royal couple lived on the Isle of Anglesey, or Ynys Môn, from 2010 to 2013. This was while William was working as a search and rescue pilot with the RAF, whose base is conveniently located near Bodorgan, close to where the family lived. Love dreamy Welsh homes? Sign up to our newsletter here Before their engagement, William and Kate moved into a property on the Newborough estate, a rural part of Anglesey's western side. Nearby villages include Bodorgan, Newborough, and Malltraeth which are all nearby villages, the Express reported. Article continues below The house they stayed in was an old, white-stoned farmhouse, believed to be Prince George's first home, as Kate and William returned to Anglesey for a few weeks following his birth in London. Given that most of Anglesey is rural, with only with small villages and farms, Kate was able to carry out her daily activities without much fuss according to reports, while William was at work. She was spotted in Llangefni, purchasing dog food at the local pet shop, and in Menai Bridge, doing the weekly grocery shopping at the only Waitrose on Anglesey. Reflecting on his and Kate's time on Anglesey, Prince William shared: "This island has been our first home together, and it will always be an immensely special place for us both. Catherine and I look forward to returning again and again over the coming years with our family. "I know that I speak for Catherine when I say that I have never in my life known somewhere as beautiful and as welcoming as Anglesey."

She revealed: "I was chatting to some of the mums, I had just had George and William was still working with search and rescue, so we came up here when George was a tiny, tiny little baby, in the middle of Anglesey. "It was so isolated, so cut off, I didn't have my family around me, he was doing night shifts, so if only I'd had a centre like this at a certain time." The couple resided in Bodorgan Hall, a four-bedroom farmhouse boasting a Welsh slate roof sourced locally and numerous large windows, offering breathtaking views of the nearby sea and the Eryri mountains. The property offers the opportunity to stroll through Newborough Forest to Llanddwyn beach, and then along the sands to Llanddwyn Island, once home to Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of love. The estate is recognised as an Area of Outstanding Beauty and Environmentally Sensitive Area, largely due to its encompassing woodland and beach. It also boasts a circular dovecote, barn, expansive gardens, a lawn, and a deer park. The house was constructed between 1779 and 1782, with significant additions made in the mid-19th century. Kate and William paid a modest £750 per month in rent to Sir George Meyrick, the owner of the property and the estate on which it stands, the largest estate on Anglesey. The house comprised of two bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and four bedrooms. Article continues below After their wedding in 2011, and again following the birth of Prince George, the Royal couple returned to Bodorgan Hall. Carole Middleton stayed with Kate and William to assist with the newborn, and according to reports at the time, the Queen's former housekeeper Antonella Fresolone travelled to the island to cook for them.
