It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and…
Devastated by this news. Lynda Shahwan was one of the loveliest, most talented people I’ve ever worked with. A wonderful friend and colleague at BBC Wales, who has died while on holiday in Canada. Thoughts are with Sharif and all the family. bbc.com/news/articles/…
📻 We’re back with a Summer Soundtrack on BBC Radio Wales! An August Bank Holiday special with @DerekTheWeather, playing seasonal songs. What are your favourite summer or weather songs… and why? And what do you like most about summer? Let us know! ⬇️

🦔 The childlike thrill of finding a hedgehog in the garden! Used to often catch them as a kid in Llandrindod… but haven’t seen one for ages in Cardiff. #Hedgehog

Cracking #TOTP from the summer of 1982 on BBC Four. Macca, Hot Chocolate, Irene Cara, Japan, David Essex, Yazoo, Dexys… And forgotten what a fantastic single 'Night Train' by Visage was. This should have been a monster hit! 📺
Hard to believe it's 40 years ago today… happy birthday #LiveAid! The vision, audacity and determination to make it happen on such an incredible scale. And *that* line-up! One of the greatest things I’ve ever witnessed in my lifetime. #LiveAid40

Loving Live Aid night on BBC2. Funny what you recall about that day. Remember my brother being a massive Who fan, waiting for their set, VHS at the ready… frustrated that was the one part where they lost the live link to Wembley! #LiveAid40

Morning. Today’s weather is brought to you by The Fast Show’s Poula Fisch... ☀️ #Scorchio
🏴 Today is not just Wales’ hottest day of the year… it’s our hottest July day for three years. 📈 The top temperature was 32.4C in Bute Park, Cardiff. And it felt like it, cycling through earlier!


Stevie Wonder enjoying how loudly the crowd sing a medley of ‘You Are My Sunshine’ into ‘You Are The Sunshine of My Life’. In fairness, he probably isn’t aware #Cardiff City fans chant this in a big field all the time! #StevieWonder #Bluebirds
Overjoyed to finally catch this living legend live. Hotter than July in the Cardiff sunshine… and there’s 75 year-old Stevie Wonder, knocking it out of the park! Master Blaster, As, Sir Duke, Lately, Superstition, Living for the City… a solid gold setlist. #StevieWonder
From the park I hear rhythms… it’s hotter than July! Great to welcome Stevie Wonder for his first gig in Wales in over 40 years. Thousands enjoying a living legend - live in the #Cardiff sunshine! #StevieWonder #MasterBlaster
☀️ Here comes the second heatwave of the summer, for most of Wales. 📈 More widespread than the last one, and likely to last for several days.


Last night a heady dose of 90s nostalgia… tonight a flashback to the 80s! Love Action, Living on the Ceiling, You Take Me Up, Electric Dreams, Sound of The Crowd… what a setlist! A glorious gig at Cardiff Castle with Human League, Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey and Blancmange.



A late-night Oasis gig, followed by an early Sunday morning call, isn’t the best race-day preparation. Still, a thoroughly enjoyable, if tardy Porthcawl 10k. And the sore head was totally worth it! 🏃🏾♂️ #OasisLive25 #Porthcawl10k

Less a gig… more an epic event! Transported back thirty years, to catch classics from #Oasis, Cast and the Verve, live once more. Noel accompanied by 70,000 fans joyously singing ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’, sums up a superb comeback concert in #Cardiff. #Oasis25 #OasisLive25
I know it’s all about #Oasis… but we can have a moment for the sonic explosion that is seventy thousand people breaking into Bittersweet Symphony! #Oasis25 #OasisLive25 #Cardiff #RichardAshcroft
Selfies… sixteen years apart! Taken at #Oasis’ ‘last ever’ gig at the V Festival… and at the comeback concert in #Cardiff. Good to be back! #Oasis25 #OasisCardiff #OasisLive25
