Two big Welsh anniversaries this week. Firstly, can you believe it's 50 years this week since Lynn Davies won the long jump in the Tokyo Olympics? Radio Wales Sport will pay tribute to one of Wales' greatest sporting heroes in a special programme on Wednesday at 7pm.
Lynn
Lynn the Leap's triumph was already a decade old by the time that Pobol y Cwm started. BBC Wales' Welsh language soap is 40 this week and Eleri Sion’s off to Cwmderi – and if she has her way, to The Deri itself – on Thursday at 1pm.
The Radio Wales Artist of the Week this week is south Wales indie royalty - Keys. Their new song 'Bad Girls' will be played across the station all week, and they'll be joining Eleri on Wednesday.
No Keys at the Swn Festival this year but there is a heck of a line-up, including many of our Horizons 12 acts. Bethan Elfyn brings her show live from Clwb Ifor Bach on Saturday at 7pm.
Radio Wales Sport is working overtime this weekend with a full slate of live sport. The Russell Slade era at Cardiff City begins early – a 12.15pm kick off against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. While on Sunday at 4pm, Swansea will look to stay in the top five of the Premier League with a win away to Stoke. Both games are live across the whole of Wales. Meanwhile, the new European rugby competitions kick off this weekend with all four regions involved. Ospreys versus Treviso is live on Sunday at 1pm.
Right, I'm off to the Radio Festival, but not before seeing us pick up three points against Cyprus in the European Qualifiers. The game is of course live on Radio Wales Sport tonight. Come on Wales!
