Sunbird Records presents Welsh Royalty MelysWelsh Indie band Melys formed in the Snowdonia village of Betws-y-Coed in the late 90's and quickly signed for the legendary Welsh label, ‘Ankst’(Super Furry Animals, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci et al.) With daytime and evening Radio One plays from Mark Radcliffe, Steve Lamacq and Mark Riley and John Peel, the band signed a major deal, opened their own studio and label and went on to release 4 studio albums and an introducing album (released in Europe and USA)
Melys were 2002 winners of the Welsh music award for best live act, and were big favourites of legendary BBC radio DJ John Peel, and recorded 11 BBC sessions for him, going on to win Peel’s festive 50 with their song ‘Chinese Whispers’ in 2001.
After a long break where Andrea and Paul opened a few restaurants and Gary became an academic doctor, the band have been busy again, touring the UK with friends The Wedding Present and have just released a BBC sessions album (Vol.1) featuring sessions from Huw Stephens, John Peel and Adam Walton.
Melys are currently in the studio on Anglesey mixing an album of new material with old friend and producer Gorwel Owen (Super Furries, Gorkys, Gwenno
etc). New single ’Santa Cruz’ is scheduled for an early December release with an album to follow in the spring of 2025.Support comes from The Drop Jonnies and Meliors
