Thursday Tunes: Celebrating Wales: What the Welsh are Famous For!

Thursday Tunes: Celebrating Wales: My Favourite Welsh Band

Feeder were originally a three piece band formed in 1992 by Welsh front-man Grant Nicholas and his long-time friend and drummer Jon Lee.

In search of rock and roll fame, the two moved to London where they recruited Japanese born bassist Taka Hirose. The three formed a band called Feeder, a Brit rock/pop band - with aspirations of world domination and 'partying down'.

The band were quickly snapped up by the Echo Record Label and spent the coming years touring, recording, drinking, gigging and generally working hard to make a name for themselves.

Review here

I just had to include this in the Welsh appreciation as it has been given a fresh appeal via the amazing Matched, so here is the poem in full for your enjoyment [ : D ]

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

Because their words had forked no lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on that sad height,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
