Quote
"What does it mean to be a Welsh band singing in Welsh? To me, it’s the natural thing to do, Welsh is my first language, and I wish it would be the natural everyday language of Wales. If it is used enough, then maybe one day Welsh will return to be the main language of my Country. The eradication of the language will mean less and less of an identity for the Welsh nation, it will turn Henry VIII's and the wishes of the English ruling establishment since him into a reality—that is, Wales becomes western England" (from a 30 July 2002 email).
