The L.E.S. Show The L.E.S.

It's time for us to now bow out of what has been an incredible three years. In this final episode, we recorded a Cardiff special. On our bikes, we cycled between 6 of the city's finest pubs, each with their own segment:


Day at your Dream Festival
Bain's Gizz Quiz
Cal's Finish The Lyric
Al's £1m Music Makeover
The L.E.S. Top 10
Final Playlist



With 3 seasons under our belt, a beer sponsorship from Tiny Rebel and a whole load of talented musician friends made, we can only say that as 3 music loving mates who started a little project over a couple of cans, to see what it has since become feels like an overwhelming success. Too much is said about music not being what it was, blah blah blah, but what we're most proud of is making content that goes some way towards proving that the artists who make up our current scene are the some of BEST to ever do it and it was an absolute blast for us to shine a little bit more light on them. There's too many highlights to list, so BIG thankyou to everyone who ever came on whether it was podcast, insta or even helping us spin some tunes when we were live on radio.Al and Cal will be continuing the content on the instagram page over the summer. We've always attended festivals as punters, but this year we'll be attending some as press 🎤 So keep your eyes tuned to The L.E.S. insta as there will be a whole load of visual content with even more artists coming!







For the last time, sit down and soak it up. Thankyou everybody!

This week Angel Hotel, the Cardiff 4-piece inspired by retro nostalgia, 80s flicks and 'big power pop hooks' drop by to chat to the boys. They talk solo songwriting deals, 'geek-chic' sounds and what representing the Welsh music scene means to them. Sion and Carys bring complete authenticity to Tiny Rebel in this episode and proudly fly the flag for musicians who unashamedly pursue their own sounds. In the Deep Dive this week they break down their latest single 'Rumpy Pumpy'.



In keeping with their sound, the playlist for this episode is a tour-de-force of 80's hits... On their part anyway.

In this weeks episode the boys get around the mic to chat with Huw Stephens, legendary BBC Radio presenter (across number of stations), founder of Swn Festival, Llais Music Awards and arguably Rookwood Llandough Hospital Radio's most decorated alumnus. This conversation covers the genesis of Huw's career, his hand in the development of the Welsh music scene and our mutual love for championing the brightest new tunes that the masses need to hear. This week's playlist is a ripper and mighty fresh to boot.
