Back in 1955 an unidentified flying object was spotted by a couple of farm workers nearby Llangollen’s Castel Dinas Bran (Crow Castle). A young man named Dewi Llandlenip had taken some astonishing photographs of what appears to be a UFO hovering above the ancient medieval site.
He was sure, this was THE PRESENCE OF THE TIME TRAVELLERS. Crow Castle has always had a mysterious presence, but this took them by surprise, a kind of CLOSE ENCOUTER TYPE III. Shortly after this bizarre moment they were all left stunned and knocked to the ground, the object had gone without trace and their memory obscured into a so called ABDUCTION RESET. More

A soulful & rough house, killer 4 track EP by LE's finest Lootbeg. 'Your Love Is a Vacuum' builds up to a chord focussed harmonic song with a discreetly varying sound that catches you completely. A subtle sub-bassline floats in, giving it way more more drive and leads you straight to the dancefloor. A2-Sophisticated (w&p by Lootbeg) 'Sophisticated' is a perfectly arranged deep house track, with a deeply impressive grand piano chord line slowly flowing in and completing the harmonic structure perfectly. 'They Wonder Why' kicks off the B Side in fine style, deep pads, tight percussion programming and a vocal hook conspire to provide a perfectly wholesome groove. Jan Ketel's slower version of wraps things up. Laidback and stomping at the same time with the use of the warmest kickdrum in this world and that sizzling, deep pad sound unfolding into a gradually developing acidic bass. Lootbeg's 'Never Doubt About EP' is rich in diversity and musicality and delivers insight into an established knowledge of the deeper shades of house music. More

The third highest of the fourteen peaks, Carnedd Llewelyn possibly referring to Llewelyn Fawr - Llewelyn the Great, who had a manor house at Abergwyngregin, however, more probable that it refers to his grandson Llewelyn the Last, who fell foul of Edward 1st , and ended up with his head displayed on a pike at the Tower of London. Thanks England x The cairn referred to almost certainly dates back to the bronze age, and the name Carneddau, refers to the many prehistoric burial cairns found high up in the nippi peaks.
