Singer and broadcaster Cerys Matthews said she was honoured to land an MBE for her services to music.

I'm delighted to receive this honour. It's given for 'services to literature,' but I see it not so much as a reward for the past, more as encouragement for the future. It means a great deal to have my efforts recognised, especially as I feel I've come to a new phase in my creative life.
I hope it will please the many people who have helped, guided and encouraged me over a writing career of some 30 years."
