Gavin and Stacey actor hopes his band will be 'the next Stereophonics'

Gavin and Stacey fans will likely remember Oscar Hartland, or Neil the Baby, for his heart-warming performance of The Beatle's Blackbird in the sitcom's 2024 finale.

The episode was watched by about 12.3m people on Christmas day and saw Hartland's character serenade the crowd at the wedding of his on-screen dad Smithy, played by James Cordon.

But that was just the start for Hartland, now 17, who says his band is aiming to be "the next 'Phonics, or something like that".

He has recently released a new single and he and his fellow band members are on a "mission to create a new modern sound for Wales".
