DJ and Musician Cerys Matthews: ‘I got off the bus and I never got on again’
In 2019 Cerys told Robert Elms why this Dylan Thomas quote encapsulates her London.
Cerys Matthews first came to prominence in the mid 90s as a founding member of Welsh rock band Catatonia, later becoming a leading figure in the "Cool Cymru" movement of that decade. She’s also a prolific solo artist, with more than a dozen albums to her name.
Over the years she’s also founded festivals, curated exhibitions, written novels - for both adults and children, and made several documentaries.
Matthews now hosts a weekly music show on BBC Radio 6 Music, and a weekly blues show on BBC Radio 2.
