"BBC BackChat" will be going out on 2nd May at 10.30pm on BBC7 as part of the station's "Witty and Twisted" series of pilot shows by new writers. It will also be on the station's "Listen Again" page for a week afterwards. Please listen to this as it is, literally, my 15 minutes of fame.

I am currently presenting Afan's Alternative Anthems on community radio station 107.9 Afan FM from 9pm, every Tuesday evening. If you live in the Neath/Port Talbot area, please support Afan FM as it is a great idea.

Hello and thanks for visiting

Hello. Thanks for visiting garethgwynn.co.uk.

Does it look too corporate?

We ought to explain. We've put this page online long before it deserves to be. My hand was forced into getting garethgwynn.co.uk after idly browsing the internet one evening and finding that garethgwynn.com had been taken. This really shouldn't have been a surprise. I fight for google supremacy with a footballer and a film-maker, and they are equally entitled to a domain name. Fair play to them for getting there first!

Anyway, in retaliation, I got hold of garethgwynn.co.uk. It was then my thoughts turned to what I should put there. Should I just re-direct to a myspace site? Not when one of Bath University's premier web-designers Tom Natt volunteered his web-designing servies for free!

So I "designed" the site on the back of a flyer after a gig in Cardiff, which Tom faithfully reproduced using state-of-the-art internet technology. The strange thing is, what looked fun and charming on the smudged back of a flyer in a dimly-lit stand-up venue looks weird and corporate when rendered in xmms, css and html (I think I've got those right) (he hasn't - Tom).

So rather than bat half-formed ideas back and forth ("Should we make it blue?" etc.), we decided to hell with it, we'll stick it up as it is and wait for the feedback to pour in. Let us know what you think. Although don't suggest colouring it blue. We've tried that.

Also, try checking out some of the links. Primarily to see if they work, and then to see if we've uploaded any cool stuff. Don't be too harsh on us if there isn't anything there, mind. We're still getting going on this.
