Brummie (sometimes Brummy) is a colloquial term for the inhabitants, accent and dialect of Birmingham, England, as well as being a general adjective used to denote a connection with the city, locally called Brum. The terms are all derived from Brummagem or Bromwichham, historical variants or alternatives to 'Birmingham'.
Birmingham and Coventry accents are also quite distinct, despite the proximity of the cities. To the untrained ear, however, all of these accents may sound very similar, just as British English speakers can find it hard to distinguish between Canadian and USA accents, they also find it hard to distinguish between the Australian and New Zealand accent.
So to answer the question directly, both Brummie and Welsh accents may SOUND similar to someone not from one of these two areas of the UK, but to native speakers they probably sound as separate as American English and Canadian English, or Australian and New Zealand English.

No way! A Brummie accent is a series of mispronounced vowels and a peculiar intonation pattern; a Welsh accent is lilting and tuneful and has many similarities with the Indian (not Red Indian) accent - honest. However, this is the point of view of an English person with a fairly neutral accent. Judgements of the perceived beauty or ugliness of accents are based almost entirely upon a knowledge of the social connotations which they possess for those familiar with them. So, an American would not make the same judgements as an English person.
