Wales is part of the UK and British. It's a bit confusing but Britain is England, Wales & Scotland, the United Kingdom is all those countries plus Northern Ireland. I hope I've sortof cleared that up! SFA are great aren’t they? Wales is part of the UK and British.

They are amazing. Do they technically count as British? Although they are Welsh and that's part of the UK...I am unclear on those distinctions, actually.

There are still a few beacons of light (Super Furries, for instance) just under the radar, but mostly British pop is in a dire state. I blame Simon Cowell. In fact you could say HE'S the latest British Invasion. Pip pip!
