Quite a year for Ms Long – 12 months of stuffing hip upstarts into Cardiff gig venues as Flux=Rad, a hand in the running of the annual Swn festival and finally news that she’ll be taking over from Bethan Elfyn as host of Radio 1’s Introducing show. Not that shabby.

==========================

Recorded music highlights of 2010:

Were from The National, Beach House, Lowed Dens and Swans.

Live music highlights of 2010:

Was possibly Demolished Thoughts at SXSW (especially getting punched in the face), and festival singalongs to The National at Latitude and Marina & The Diamonds at Reading.

What else did you enjoy this year?

This year I really enjoyed putting on gigs by bands like Savoir Adore, Harlem, Beach House, Abe Vigoda and Surfer Blood (to name a few)

2010 was… AWESOME.
2011 will be…  all about Still Corners and the new Joy Formidable record.
