You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.208.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:01, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Llwybr Llaethog''' (Welsh for Milky Way, although the Milky Way has several names in Welsh folklore) are an experimental [[Welsh language]] band that effectively mix such varied musical genres as [[hip hop music|rap]], [[Dub music|dub]], [[reggae]], [[hip hop music|hip hop]], and [[Punk rock|punk]] in their music.

==Background==
Founded in London in 1985 by John Griffiths and Kevs Ford, the two teens had spent the 1970s growing up in [[Blaenau Ffestiniog]]'s decaying industrial surroundings. The two were heavily influenced by reggae and the punk scenes that were sweeping the UK. After several years touring northern Europe with punk/ska band The Managing Directors, the turning point came in 1984 when John Griffiths was on vacation in [[New York City]] and was impressed by a group of youths he saw at the Roxy nightclub [[breakdancing]], and the sounds of [[DJ Red Alert]].<ref name="BBC">((cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/llwybr-llaethog/pages/biography.shtml|title=Llwybr Llaethog biography|date=18 November 2008|website=[[BBC Wales]]|accessdate=17 March 2024))</ref><ref name="Not">((cite web |url=http://www.welshnot.com/llwybr-llaethog-welsh-wubba-dubbers/|title=Llwybr Llaethog: The Welsh Wubba Dubbers|date=17 October 2013|website=welshnot|accessdate=17 March 2024))</ref><ref name="All">((cite web |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/llwybr-llaethog-mn0000273341#biography|title=Llwybr Llaethog Biography|first=Craig|last=Harris|date=2022|website=[[AllMusic|Allmusic]]|accessdate=17 March 2024))</ref>

After returning to Wales, Griffiths fixed on the idea of marrying hip hop and left wing politics with the Welsh language. Llwybr Llaethog's debut release was an EP for the Welsh record label [[Anhrefn Records]] in 1986, titled ''Dull Di Drais'', which combined Llwybr Llaethog's leftist political messages with what would become the band's trademark sound of turntable scratching, [[sampling (music)|audio sampling]], hip-hop, and cut-and-paste production.<ref name="All" /> The band were also heavily promoted by English radio [[Disc Jockey|DJ]] [[John Peel]].<ref name="BBC" />
