[edit] Information

Huw Stephens reveals the fascinating history of Welsh music.

[edit] Chapter 1:

Huw delves deep into the surprising and varied story of music in Wales by putting together a unique Welsh mixtape. Jumping from choirs to pop groups, Tom Jones to the triple harp, haunting medieval music to urban rap, Huw explores what makes Welsh music unique, and the qualities it shares right across the centuries. Contributors include Tom Jones, Manic Street Preachers and Dafydd Iwan.

[edit] Chapter 2:

Huw takes a trip to the South Wales valleys to meet the world-famous Treorchy male voice choir, and to dig into the story of how another choir helped Wales become known as the Land of Song. At the other end of the country, Huw meets singer-songwriter Dafydd Iwan, whose song Yma o Hyd has recently become a football anthem.
