Race Horses were a Welsh band based in Cardiff, Wales and originally from Aberystwyth. Formed in 2005 as Radio Luxembourg, they changed their name in 2009 due to possible legal problems with the radio station of the same name. Initially the majority of their music was in Welsh,[1] but their final album Furniture was entirely in English.[2][3]

After appearing across Wales and during the debut Festival N°6,[4] the band announced their split in January 2013 and performed a farewell gig the following month at Clwb Ifor Bach.[5]

After Race Horses

Gwion Llewelyn is now the drummer for Yr Ods. He and Mali Llewelyn both play with Villagers.

Alun Gaffey continues solo as a singer-songwriter and with Iwcs & Gaff.

Meilyr Jones played bass with Neon Neon on their 2013 live shows supporting the album Praxis Makes Perfect and is now a solo musician. He's also collaborated on the Cousins project with Euros Childs, their album released in 2012, and with Stealing Sheep. In 2010-2011 he was involved with Cate Le Bon on the Yoke project. He released his debut solo single, Refugees/Birds, on Moshi Moshi Records in August 2015, with a full album expected in February 2016.[6]
