Cโmon butt, gather round the wireless โ because tonight is one of those proper Welsh rock-and-roll moments that makes you want to crack open a can, crank the volume, and yell TIDY! at the moon.
At 7pm sharp, our very own Benji Webbe โ the metal-dreaded, neon-jacketed, endlessly charismatic frontman of Skindred and beloved hero of Cymru โ is stepping in for Huw Stephens on BBC Cymru Wales.
Yes, mun. BENJI. ON THE RADIO. PLAYING HIS FAVOURITE BANGERS.
If this isnโt a national holiday, it bloody well should be.
๐ค WHY THIS IS A BIG DEAL (AND WE MEAN BIG DEAL)
Benji isnโt just a vocalist. Heโs a walking festival, a one-man mosh pit, a human airhorn with more swagger than half the UK chart combined.
You know how every gig he touches turns into a rave, a sing-along, and a therapy session all at once?
Now imagine that energy pumped straight into your living room via BBC Cymru Wales.
Only in Wales, munโฆ only in Wales.
๐ง WHAT TO EXPECT AT 7PM
Benjiโs taking the reins and spinning:
- His personal all-killer, no-filler bangers
- Tracks that shaped him, shook him, moved him
- Tunes guaranteed to make your nan ask why the sofa is vibrating
- And probably a few curveballs because itโs Benji Webbe and normal rules do not apply
This isnโt your typical polite radio show.
This is Skindred FM, baby โ just with fewer airhorns and slightly more broadcasting regulations.
๐ด CELEBRATING A TRUE WELSH ICON
Letโs be honest: Benji showing up anywhere instantly upgrades the room by 500%.
Seeing him on BBC Cymru Wales, representing our scene, our music, our madness โ thatโs something to shout about.
Heโs a treasure.
A menace.
A legend.
And tonight, heโs YOUR DJ.
Proper job.
๐ป HOW TO TUNE IN
7pm โ BBC Cymru Wales
Radio, app, smart speaker, the microwave if you kick it hard enough โ however you listen, just GET ON IT.
Crank the volume.
Open the windows.
Make your neighbours learn who Benji Webbe is, whether they like it or not.
๐ค LET US KNOW WHAT HE PLAYS!
Jump in the comments on The Riff Report and tell us:
- Your favourite track of the night
- Your favourite Benji moment
- Your favourite time you almost died in a Skindred pit
We’ll be live-reacting, shouting “YESS MUN!” at every riff, and getting as daft as legally allowed.
๐ค BENJI WEBBE ON BBC CYMRU WALES
