Multi-instrumentalist and composer Gareth Evans, originally from Haverfordwest. He has just released his second album as Undersound, titled 'Infinity Wishes', on the NexGen label.
The album takes you on a journey though many musical soundscapes and genres, with sounds inspired by jazz, soul, funk, contemporary classical, hip-hop, pop, world music and more. The album features a host of super talented collaborators including, Bella Collins (a Tenby Blues Festival regular), Francesca Dimech, Sarah Meek, Adam Redmore, Nicki Rose, Ben Thorpe (also from Haverfordwest) and Shane Dixon. The LP and title track ‘Infinite Wishes’ is a lullaby to a child yet unborn.
This is an astonishing collection of songs, possible one of the best ever to come out of west Wales. Gareth will be chatting to BB about the making of the album and his musical roots - anyone remember Haverfordwest band The Cheapskates and their classic song "You Owe Me 13 Pence"? He might even give a demonstration of one of his favourite hobbies - juggling - live on air!
