This week's show is now available via the iPlayer. Please visit any time between now and the start of the next programme.
This week's show is a dense weave of breathtaking sonic fabrics, focusing some of its attention on the imminent Gwyl Gardd Goll Festival (Friday 22 - Sunday 24 July - http://gwylgarddgoll.com). , a great independent Welsh festival that does much to support the finest indigenous music, regardless of language, and in a most beautiful location.
So, we celebrate a high number of the Welsh artists who are playing (Gruff Rhys, Yr Ods, Y Niwl, Gallops, Race Horses et al) and there are debut plays - from artists who appeared by magic in my inbox - for Les toiles, R. Seiliog, Kameelion, Anna Madeleine and the Nova Saints.
Hurl more hitherto unexplored music at me (or recommendations of ace bands you've seen) via themysterytour@gmail.com (mp3s/download links) or by visiting the BBC Introducing Uploader.
Longwinded, but sound, advice on submitting music to the show is available here:

- Submitting Music to the Show Dos & Don'ts #3
- Submitting Music to the Show Dos & Don'ts #4
Elsewhere on the show our crack team of experts bring you Bethesda's reaction to Joy Division (courtesy of Alan Holmes - this week introduced by a track dedicated entirely to him); a translation of Sen Segur's mighty Cyfoeth Gwlyb (diolch, Lara Catrin) and some marvellous, acid-friend hippy nonsense (take a bow, Ben Hayes).
I'm off to buy the waterproof-est cagoule in Christendom for Gwyl Gardd Goll, and a pair of funky wellies.
Have an excellent week,
Diolch yn fawr iawn,
Adam
