So, in my search for More David Wrench Stuff To Add Here, I came across this Welsh band called Swci Boscawen. I guess you could call them “Pop Punk” or “Power Pop” (is there really a difference?), but their music is interesting in that the singer seems to perform exclusively in the Welsh language. I tried noodling around with Welsh when I was maybe twelve? I didn’t get much further than pre-remedial pronounciation and a couple of words. At one time, all I could say in Welsh was “I love you” and “Hello” (in short, I was trying to translate lyrics by The Doors to Welsh for no reason other than I was bored), but I haven’t really retained any of it. (After all, the mind is the first thing to die….) I have an aunt who married into my mother’s side of the family who speaks Welsh as a first language and English as a second language, but I’m pretty sure she died some years back.

…but I digress…

So, I can’t speak, much less understand, any of these lyrics, but the band here plays some pretty neat little songs — and they’re available to download via their MySpace page! Whoo!

(Oh, yes, David Wrench has some involvement with this band as Producer and session musician, so that’s why I’m posting here.)

This is the new, UNOFFICIAL fansite for musician David Wrench.  Basically, when I find out news about David Wrench, I’ll post it to this portion of the site.

His official site seems to be defunct at the moment, so I’ll be compiling a biography based on notes I’ve found in various places (mostly on-line).  If you have info you think will be useful, please feel free to send it to me via the contact page.

Soon, I’ll also open up a forum so that Wrench fans may communicate and keep each other informed on events such as performances and CD releases.
