Stuart Cable (born 19 May 1970 in Aberdare, Wales) is the former drummer for the Welsh band, Stereophonics.
He grew up in the close-knit village of Cwmaman near Aberdare, and still lives there with his family today.
In 2002, Cable was given his own TV chat show, Cable TV, by BBC Wales. He was sacked by the rest of the band in September, 2003, because it was claimed he was spending too much time on his new media career at the expense of rehearsals. Since then, he has had another television series of his own, called Cable Connects (2005) and has his own radio show on BBC Radio Wales: Cable Rock.[1]
In 2005, Cable co-hosted the Kerrang Awards with Juliette Lewis and he also presents two shows on Kerrang! 105.2: the 'Cable and Caroline' with Caroline Beavon and 'The Rock N' Roll Years'.
He is also well known for his deep, intense Welsh voice.
More recently, Cable has been drumming in his new Welsh band, Killing For Company, who not only were the first band to play the new Liberty Stadium in Swansea, but in doing so, supported the well-known British rock act The Who.
