This week we celebrate some of the highlights from our Radio Wales Music Day gig at Clwyd Theatr Cymru in Mold. You can hear a song each from Colorama (magical), Masters in France (pumping), Houdini Dax (exuberant) and Courteous Thief (rollicking). It was quite a night. You can live the whole evening vicariously on the iPlayer - but only after you've listened to *my* show, of course!

I'll be writing a full and exhaustive account of events at Clwyd Theatr Cymru as soon as my body and mind have recovered from the rigours of Radio Wales Music Day... admittedly not comparable to a solo trek to the North Pole, or a marathon in Death Valley. Still in the aftermath, amazing as the day was, I have felt flatter than a pancake squeezed through a nuclear-powered mangle by Posh Spice's pre-Autotuned backing vocals. THAT flat.

On Sunday night I arrived in Bangor, in an unfamiliar studio, in a rather discombobulated state of mind. So when my headphones started feeding back and echoing like a group flashback at an Ozric Tentacles gig at the very beginning of the show you can almost hear the sound of my sanity flapping its way out of the studio. Fortunately I just about keep it together and get to bring you first-time plays for EVM (Evermean), White Arrows, Kim De Bills, Tall Ships, Miacca, Y Cyfoes, Audiofreeq, Injured Ninja, Rush Keepers and Deaf Club.

Many of these artists feature on the that has been compiled by Paul from Wrexham's Gallops. It's a brilliant compilation of mostly Welsh artists... well worth the paltry fiver they're asking for in exchange for the 36 tracks. I'll write about this more expansively in the next couple of days.

Elsewhere Lara Catrin translates something haunting and moustachioed from Tecwyn Ifan and Huw "Pooh Stick" Williams treats us to a blast of The Mekons.
