I’ve met Gruff Rhys the lead singer of SFA a few times, lovely man, very welsh that’s for sure, it’s his first language.

not-a-medical-Dr Jessica Taylor monetising the Russell Brand and David Walliams news is disgusting. She forced her vulnerable employees to sign an NDA to stop them whistle blowing. She threatened survivors of sexual abuse to sue them for “every single one of their assets” if they spoke up. She is one of the most dangerous people in the VAWG sector and does so much harm to women and girls.

For sure, and for the record I wasn’t saying that not being a great person justifies someone treating you with disrespect.Oh no, that last bit is not great. Still, doesn't take away from how much of a bleep he is for me. There's no such thing as the 'perfect victim' and I seem to remember several other women came forward. He sounds like a headwrecker.
In their case there seems to be such a pile of mutual toxic crap that it’s not even clear who is the victim of what anymore, so best to stay away from either of them. I hope their daughter doesn’t get messed up by all of this.
From what I can gather he was also violent. I hope their daughter has some good support, and all the women involved.
Think this was on another thread …quite the read

His response to that was also quite the read. Is it inconsiderate towards their daughter to put out so much dirty laundry in public? She writes about their daughter a fair bit for her various newspaper columns, including what she wears under her school uniform.Think this was on another thread …quite the read
Ooh could you link it please
@MrFMercury you’ve unlocked memory mentioning Paul and the handwritten lyrics, i remember being bombarded with messages but i just blocked him
Not sure if this will work but fingers crossed!
Morriss' response was a typical DARVO response that I've seen countless times, from countless DA perpetrators. I'm gonna leave it there now as this thread isn't for this, I don't think.

Put the daughter aside for one moment, what’s telling here is, if what she wrote in the original blog was not factual, the title says sue me. So there is clearly a weight of truth to it or else it would have been removed due to liable.
As for involving their daughter no one should be sharing their kids personal info online. It’s ridiculous.
Anyway back to the Brit pop shenanigans….

I saw SFA in New Orleans at a Jazz festivals in the early 2000's I thought they were great. Gruff did a bit of the gig sitting down it was so hot! I still listen to his solo stuff which is pretty interesting but he said he was really uncomfortable with Brit Pop, the SFAs were influenced American rock. Also there was a thing called 'Cool Cymru' which was basically the Welsh Britpop with bands like SFA, Catatonia, Stereophonics, Duffy etc
Cool Cymru was a funny one, it seemed like some bands loved it and were proud of where they came from and others really tried to distance themselves. I've had an arguement with someone recently about whether the Stereophonics were Welsh or not. Apart from anything else I was there first time around, it was my job, and they were born this millenuim but sure keep on educating me junior 
Agree. I believe her/them 100%. He sounds a revolting person.
But yes, back to Britpop. What other artists have people seen who have reformed since the 90s?
I saw The Lightening Seeds just before last Christmas. Pure feel good psychedelic pop.
I always see Ash when they’re about. Never noticed they were shoite now tbh

I’ve seen Suede and Inspiral Carpets so far this year. Neither strictly Britpop, I know, but Britpop adjacent, and both were great gigs. Seeing Suede again just before Christmas with my husband this time, who’s not a fan but willing to be educated
Chad's statement with regard to where he is in life now (which I think has since been deleted) was pretty damning - basically said that he wanted nothing more to do with Mansun but said that Paul and/or Andy had attempted to contact him via his parents and workplace (which could be seen as harrassment and would suggest his behaviour elsewhere is part of a pattern) and had made up a whole bunch of stories about what happened.
I seem to remember Lauren Laverne implying that she was aware of some pretty inappropriate behaviour from Paul Draper as well.
Does anyone remember free cd’s being given away with magazines back in the 90’s? They usually had songs from the lesser known Britpop bands…that’s how I got to know the smaller bands. I vaguely remember one that had Elastica and Mansun on it. It’s probably still in my childhood bedroom, if my mother hasn’t thrown it out along with everything else I owned from that time.
My intro was more often from Channel 4 - they used to feature a video from lesser know artists inbetween programmes maybe about 6pm? That's how I heard about Geneva and Salad.
I loved 1977 it was the first album i bought but i’m not a fan of anything after that.I saw The Lightening Seeds just before last Christmas. Pure feel good psychedelic pop.

They still do it. I've discovered some awesome stuff over the years through free CDs from the likes of Mojo and Uncut.
Does anyone remember Ether? I think they might have been Welsh. I can't remember any of the songs for the life of me or where I first heard them but for some reason always remember the name.
I still have my bright orange 1977 t-shirt (not a hope in hell that fits now). I got a free frisbee when I bought the 1977 CD from Woolies.

10 terrible Britpop albums with one classic song
There were some era-defining records made during the Britpop boom, but some stinkers too. Here's ten terrible efforts that were saved by one song.

Checked the oasis-album once again, and they might be up on something. I did like Sunday morning call at that time, but now I really don’t care about it.
The other songs I mostly don’t even know though.
