Berwyn

Sixth formers in Ysgol Godre'r Berwyn in Bala, Gwynedd, are currently preparing for their exams while looking ahead to the next step after leaving school.

Becca Brown, Berwyn Parry Jones, Dafydd Meurig and Elin Walker Jones issued a joint statement, saying they "wish to distance ourselves from the comments made by leader Dyfrig Siencyn".

Berwyn made history in 2021 when an album of demo recordings became the first mixtape to become nominated for the Mercury Prize.

Returning nominees this year include Corinne Bailey Rae, singer-songwriter Berwyn and the rapper Ghetts - each of whose albums examine issues of racism and inequality.

Only two of the nominated albums have spent more than a week in the UK album charts, while some - including those by Corinne Bailey Rae and Berwyn - have missed the Top 75 altogether.
