From 1981 for almost 20 years, Greenham Common became home to
thousands of women acting in political resistance to the nuclear
arms race, to patriarchy and violence in all its forms and to the
claiming of British common land to store US missiles.
Greenham Women Everywhere is a project focused on collating and
preserving the stories from these protests, creating an archive and
asking, how can the legacy of Greenham Common inspire the next
generation of activists and give us hope for the future? Rebecca
Morden from the project talks to peace campaigner Sue Say and
singer Frankie Armstrong about their Greenham memories. Melin
Melyn and their uplifting blend of psychedelia, alternative-rock,
folk and surf music, promise a splendidly jangling affair. Now with
a debut EP under their belts, the Cymru six-piece have had
memorable sets at Green Man each of the last three years; and with
Huw Stephens amongst their loyal-fanbase, it’s safe to say that
Melin Melyn’s rise is a continuously rapid one. Gruff from the band
chats with Rozi Plain. Carefree vocals and jovial
complexities swirl together via a hand-made electric-guitar, as
Rozi Plain returns with a new series of intimate alternative-folk.
Collaborating with Kate Stables of This is the Kit and jazz icon
Alabaster DePlume on 'Agreeing for Two', off her fourth record
'PRIZE', Rozi Plain's world is woozy, expansive, and subtly jazzy.
