This Pride Month, Mouth-Off revisits a milestone from the archive: Welsh and Proud – Schools’ Songwriting Sessions (2014). Funded by the Arts Council of Wales and produced by Forget-Me-Not Productions — our first project as a Ltd company — this initiative brought together over 150 pupils from five Cardiff secondary schools to create original LGBTQIA+ themed anthems.The winning song, The Person Within, was professionally recorded, filmed, and screened on the main stage at Cardiff Pride 2014.A decade later, we untangle the cables, revisit the voices, and reflect on the queer legacy of music, memory, and visibility.🎧 In this episode:Archival clips from the original projectInterviews with participating teachers, judges, and community figuresA musical montage of student submissionsA tribute to late supporters and judges Scott Travers and Ian Bazzard (Bazz)Audio from sister projects United Community and Homophonic is GayReflections on ageism, allyship, and protestA Cwtch live set snippetAn excerpt from Claire Dowie’s Why is John Lennon Wearing a Skirt? as part of the Cultural Cwtch🎵 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSTheme music: Intro and Outro by Clary SaddlerFeaturing:The Person Within – by pupils from Mary Immaculate SchoolUnited Community – by pupils at Willows High School and Clary SaddlerLive Out Loud (LOL) – by pupils from Fitzalan School and Clary SaddlerDon’t Hide Away in the Shadows – by pupils of Michaelston Community College and Clary SaddlerPam Padlocks – by pupils from Ysgol Plasmawr and Radyr Comprehensive SchoolMirrors – by pupils from Bro Edern and Clary SaddlerUnity – by pupils from Bishop of Llandaff SchoolForget-Me-Not – by CwtchGood Thing – by CwtchConfide in Me (Kylie Minogue Cover) – by CwtchShiver – by CwtchRemember Me – by CwtchTurn to You – by CwtchUnreal Reality – by Word Groove CollectiveClaire Dowie monologue excerpt – Why is John Lennon Wearing a Skirt?Additional clips from Homophonic is GayInterview snippets from Radio Cardiff and Vibe Creative archivesSFX: Pixabay📍 Follow us:LinkTreeFacebook: @FMNproductionsUKX (Twitter): @1_forgetInstagram: @forgetmenotclaryPen and Sword Books📝 Follow Clary’s author content:Threads & Instagram: @clary.writesTikTok: @clarywritesX (Twitter): @clary_cwtch
