In an interview with Isaac Hunt, Rhys mentioned: [1] "I was told that John was in a wine bar around the corner; as I entered the bar and caught Peel's eye he greeted me with 'You're not a mugger I hope,' which kind of says a lot about him. I explained about the compilation of new 'underground' Welsh-language acts and a couple of days later he played Rhywle Yn Moscow by Anhrefn, which at the time felt like we'd actually made it!" The band were championed by Peel and recorded three sessions for his show; Peel even travelled to Wales to see the band perform.
