This week's three-hour celebration of excellent, almost-entirely-new-Welsh music calls on luminous talents from all four corners of the country (but I'm still actively seeking music from mid Wales - please see the note on submitting demos to the show, below). We go from the consummate and crafted musicianship of Colorama to the all out, post hardcore roar of Bastions - with much in between to delight the musically curious.
On the subject of Bastions, the half hour mixtape that we couldn't broadcast this week will be broadcast soon. Sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment caused.
There are début plays for Squawk, Chailo Sim, Astroid Boyz, Tom Walton, Brutality Will Prevail and James Neill.
I'm dead keen to hear more excellent sounds from unknown sources, regardless of genre - so long and they're fresh and fascinating. Please send your demos as high quality .mp3s to: themysterytour@gmail.com with a short biography and a contact number.
Or, post CDs/vinyl to: Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales, Library & Arts Centre, Rhosddu Rd., WREXHAM LL11 1AU
Elsewhere on the show, Huw Williams reminds us of Denbigh's Terminal and a man called Ben inspires us with Eric Burdon & War.
Have an excellent, music-filled week!
Thank you/diolch yn fawr,
Adam
