Welsh musician and dancer Gwenno Saunders speaks to Amy Hall about her cultural influences, minority languages and singing in Welsh and Cornish on her debut solo album ‘Y Dydd Olaf’.
Why was it important to you to make a political album now?
I had been living in London and I felt there was a period, before the financial crash [of 2008] when people didn’t really discuss politics. When I moved back to Wales, I definitely had more conversations about politics.
