In The Words Of

Ritchie is known, but with this being a remake of the French film “Cash Truck”, I don’t know how much he wanted or could have amended his version as I have not seen the French film. It’s a good film, worth watching, just not as good as I wanted it to be. Four Stars INTERVIEWS
It’s been a hectic month with interviews aplenty. Most of these are future offerings for you to peruse, such as cricket legend Phil Tufnell, rugby’s James Haskell and natures Steve Backshall. Keeping busy has made the days go quicker, as we all know that this time of year isn’t the best, to say the least! I am hopeful that the storms have not caused you all not too much of an issue. With myself living by the coast and rural, it’s been an exciting time chasing stuff around my property that was meant to be static, heavy, and free from flight! At least the seagulls have been kept out of our skies or from pinching chips. The majority of February for myself has been glued to the TV screen watching the Winter Olympics in China. It was impressive once I’d gotten over the amount of fake snow and locations next to industrial chemical plant areas. I am hopeful that other nonendemic snow nations can hold the Winter Olympics in the future, using the technology that China implemented. Then again… I don’t want to mention anything Welsh politics wise this month, as it’s pointless - a bit like Welsh politics!

There are two bands with new albums - one being a debut - and also touring in Wales for you this month, one being Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard (BBB) and the other, The Skinner Brothers. BBB are playing gigs at Clwb Ifor Bach (April 17th - two shows the same day!), and The Skinner Brothers are playing on March 17th at the same venue. I chatted to both the frontmen of the two bands, that being, Tom Rees and Zac Skinner, respectively. The debut album by BBB has been expected for a while, whilst the new album by The Skinner Brothers could possibly be classed as a debut, as this is more of a mainstream release. So I’d get both, then go and see the gigs. Have a good March, and fingers crossed normality may be upon us soon, Twitter - @InTheWordsOf_CM Facebook - @InTheWordsOf YouTube - InTheWordsOf
