“I’ve been very careful not to use the word race
because that would be wrong”
What would you do after spending most of the
noughties as part of a revolving cast of members in a
pop group? Heidi out of Sugababes has taken up the
role of Pinky in Happy Days; Liz from The Loves picks
the bands for Wales Goes Pop!. Sensible Gary Barlow
had washed his hands of the whole business by then

Is it society’s fault that the only one of Keiron Self’s
roundups this month which makes me want to see
the film is The Raid 2: Berandal, with its “relentless
bashing, punching, kicking and brutality”? Definitely!

Spring-themed sartorialism, like you’d expect
anything else. Thanks in particular go to McArthur
Glen, who I understand is some sort of giant male
deer, for providing us with photos from his personal
wardrobe

This month we have an interview with Tredegar’s
Mark Colbourne, a medal-winning Paralympian
cyclist in 2012. Alistair, who wrote the piece, did his
own intro which we didn’t have space for, but I love
this bit: “[Mark has] overcome more hurdles in life
then Colin Jackson has on the track”

If you’ve ever stood on Penarth Pier, looking out to
sea, at the islands of Flat Holm and Steep Holm,
and told your son, that innocent tot, a blank slate
for knowledge, that those islands were the lopsided
breasts of a gigantic woman, and he believed it until
the age of 47, then for God’s sake let him read Mab
Jones’ Flat Holm piece to puncture his delusion

Hitler’s In The Charts Again, observed The Exploited
33 years ago. In 2014, however, Hitler’s in the Stage
previews again, in the allegorical form of Arturo Ui
Cod-experimental short film about five families

William Hunt delivers this issue’s weightiest praise
by comparing Dan Tyte’s debut novel to a modern
Bukowski. Definitely be one for the cover sticker, if he
wasn’t referencing a sticker already on the cover
Q: Welsh tenor Wynne Evans is best known for
playing which moustachioed character? [everyone
except me shouts out “YOUR MUM”] Yeah, you guys
are pretty childish
