Adam Walton Adam Walton | 14:17 UK time, Wednesday, 23 February 2011

This week's show treats us to a session from North East Wales & Chester's multi-limbed folkish orchestra, Shy & The Fight. Theirs isn't a familiar name, just yet - but their elevating songs, like balloons for heavy hearts, are earning them a devoted audience. The session was beautifully recorded by John Lawrence on a mountainside in Snowdonia... and it very much has the ambience of a glowing fire welcome at the end of a wind-blasted ramble across the mountains. Beautiful stuff.

Godfather of the Welsh underground, Alan Holmes, introduces us to the multifold, avant-garde delights of the Fflint Central record label. A label that's experimental wonders have beguiled and befuddled folk all over the world, whilst hardly registering on the Welsh media map. Me included. This is a first, tiny step to make amends for that short-sightedness.

Ben Hayes, the tweedy man occasionally known as Soundhog, inspires us with some of George Martin's orchestral compositions.

Lara Catrin translates something emotive in quavering falsetto from Meilir.

And we have provocative and excellent music from all over Wales, including first time plays for Wolf Curse, Jamie Anderson & Owain K, And The Machine Screamed, Big Stick, After An Alibi, YTU13 and Pale Sketcher (& Jesu).
