There was a great show on BBC Wales last night

Planet Wales Big in India about a fella from Bridgend called Jayce who plays an infections Metal with lots of rhythmic Drums and he records his stuff in a Garden shed with his great bunch of odd ball band mates.

Together with his band, made up of friends from his hometown of Bridgend, Jayce prepares for a tour taking in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore. Jayce’s image abroad is in stark contrast to a troubled background back home. How will he and his friends cope with fame, life on tour and the adulation of thousands of Indian fans?
