This week's show features the most fascinating new music that has blessed by in/post box over the last week, including debut plays for Shamoniks, Screaming Citizens and Peyote Smile.
We have news of The Pooh Sticks' first gig in London for 18 years and Huw Williams, their singer and placard waver, is in to remind us of Gareth Edwards' music career. Which, on the evidence of the track we play, is the personification of '70s kitsch. We'll explore his ill-fated and short-lived dabble with the death metal in a future programme. If only!
Ben 'Soundhog' Hayes takes us back to a groovier, Moogier time in the company of Mort Garsson. Our album of the week is The Joy Formidable's excellent debut on Atlantic Records, The Big Roar.
And there is intriguing, excellent music from all over Wales.
