Welsh record label to digitise entire catalogue of 26,000 recordings

Sain, co-founded by singer Dafydd Iwan, begins painstaking process of preserving tracks to inspire future artists

For 55 years, the record label Sain, which is based in the north-west Wales village of Llandwrog, has been behind some of the most important Welsh-language music, promoting genres as diverse as pop, hip-hop, folk and classical.

Now the painstaking process of digitising its sprawling back catalogue is under way to ensure that no gems are lost and, hopefully, to inspire future musicians.
