The Wales Arts Review Shorts are a new series of videos exploring major figures and significant moments in Welsh cultural life. Ranging from John Cale to National Theatre Wales, our aim is to give you an insight into the deep and rich creative people that have shaped our nation.

John Davies Cale OBE (born 9 March 1942) is a Welsh musician, composer, and record producer who was a founding member of the American rock band the Velvet Underground. Over his six-decade career, Cale has worked in various styles across rock, drone, classical, avant-garde and electronic music.
Rapper and writer Graham Taylor discusses Cale’s vast body of work and his influence on rock history.
Wales Arts Review would like to thank the Arts Council of Wales for their invaluable support and without whose help this project would not have been possible.
