Huw Pooh tangles himself in the history of Cardiff's Weekend; one of Alison Statton's post-Young Marble Giants projects.
Ben Hayes - the man formerly known as Soundhog - enthuses over the lesser-known yodels and prog-ish excellence of mid-period Focus.
And the whole rest of the show is dedicated to the most interesting new Welsh music I could beg, steal or download off pop-up afflicted file sharing sites over the last week. We have debut plays for: Hunters, Soma, Kixxstart Kitty, Jack Hadley, the Moles and Ninja Ninja, plus new recordings from The Keys, the Spencer McGarry Season, Kitty Cowell, Son Capson... even the apparent loss* of the CD's containing all of the music for the second half of the programme doesn't interrupt proceedings too much.
Send demos for the show as high quality .mp3s to: themysterytour@gmail.com or post CDs to: Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales, Library & Arts Centre, Rhosddu Road, Wrexham, LL11 1AU
Please include a short biography that isn't too full of lies (unless they're good lies) and a contact number.
* The CDs had hidden themselves under a whole other CD right in front of me. As anyone who has ever lost anything knows, the last place you look is right in front of your eyes. Next time I'll be sure to look there first, thus disproving that last statement and hurling myself into a Lost-like, sideways parallel universe where I don't make mistakes like that in the first place.
