Live from WOMAD

Cerys broadcasts live from WOMAD Festival.

From Jamaica - Brushy One String performs live . He was orphaned and illiterate as a child, and played his guitar so hard he broke five of its six strings, and consequently went on to accomplish more with one string than most people can do with six.

County Down native Brona McVittie brings her brand of folk music to Womad - and pops by ahead of her set at the festival.

Petite Noir from South Africa has gained critical and commercial success. He'll join Cerys to talk about his influences, and what's inspiring him now.

UK funk legends Cymande combine the best of western and African musical traditions perform live.

Ahead of her talk at the festival Dr Anne Pawsey tells us all about the physics of beer.

First launched by Peter Gabriel in 1982, the World of Music Arts and Dance (WOMAD) festival has been held in Charlton Park in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, since 2007.
