Anglesey

Singer‑songwriter Colin MacIntyre - known to many as Mull Historical Society - continues his exploration of how island life shapes musical identity around the British coastline. This episode takes him to Anglesey, where he meets renowned Welsh composer Gareth Glyn, a leading figure in contemporary classical music and a passionate advocate for the island’s cultural life.
Together, they discuss the deep importance of music on Anglesey, from its choral traditions and community ensembles to the role of the Welsh language in shaping artistic expression. In a warm and insightful conversation, Colin and Gareth explore how place, language and heritage intertwine - and why, for islanders, music is not just an art form but a living expression of who they are.
