Happy Christmas!

Cerys gets in the festive spirit with live music from Orchestra Mambo International, guests Bill Bailey and Sarah Clegg. Not forgetting the final door in the jazz advent calendar.

Cerys gets in the festive spirit with a Santa's sack full of Christmas records.

Orchestra Mambo International play live in session, Bill Bailey drops by for a chat and a mince pie, plus Sarah Clegg shares stories of lesser-known Christmas traditions and Cerys opens the final door in the musical advent calendar with jazz bandleader Giacomo Smith!

The ideal soundtrack for present wrapping, winter walking, lazy Sundays and Christmas cooking!
