Welsh Special with Donna Lewis, The Automatic and Aled Jones

Welsh Special with One Hit Wonders from Donna Lewis, The Automatic and Aled Jones for St David鈥檚 Day.

For St David鈥檚 Day, a show full of One Hit Welsh Wonders.

Wales has such a rich musical heritage, that there鈥檚 not actually that many One Hit Wonders to choose from, so as we do from time to time, we鈥檙e playing a bit hard and fast with the rules.

For example, Jessica Garlick was born in Derby, but went to school and grew up in Carmarthenshire.

World Party might have formed in London, but lead singer Karl Wallinger is from Prestatyn.

The Automatic had other songs in the top 40, but are surely best known for Monster?

If you can forgive us a few technicalities, we hope you enjoy this One Hit Wonders selection of Welsh wonders.
