The winner of the prestigious Welsh Music Prize 2022 has been announced. Earlier in October a panel of industry experts whittled down the albums of 130 talented hopefuls to a shortlist of 15 artists all hoping to take home the award.
This year's ceremony was held at the Wales Millennium Centre on Wednesday, October 26 and was presented by BBC Radio 1 presenter Sian Eleri. The event welcomed a live public audience for the first time as part of Llais - Cardiff’s flagship international arts festival. It included performances by some of the shortlisted performers.
The judges - Aoife Woodlock (Other Voices), Matt Wilkinson (Apple Music), Nest Jenkins (ITV Cymru Wales), Sizwe (Artist/Beacons Cymru), Sophie Williams (NME), Tegwen Bruce Deans (Journalist) and Daniel Minty (Minty's Gig Guide) - had the difficult task of choosing one of the nominated albums for the coveted prize, and a £10,000 award.
