This week I'm busy trying to avoid the depressing inevitability of a 'significant' birthday. My mid-life crisis won't manifest itself in the shape of a nifty sports car. Nor am I going to try and hoodwink a woman of half my age into thinking my precipitous forehead is distinguished rather than Tefal-like. Nope, I'm just going to hang out with musicians, jollying them along like a careworker without the requisite qualifications. I may grow a pony tail... what do you think?

Fortunately this week's show is much more about the music than it is about me. And I have some truly excellent music with which to beguile > you. The full playlist is below. We have debut plays this week for Audio Herz UK, Discord, Rural, Maxx Roach, Heldinky, Khytop, Deficit and Adam A Williams.

If you have an excellent piece of music, hot out of Garageband or Ableton Live, or - why not! - fresh from a recording studio, please toss it to me in an easily catchable manner via themysterytour@gmail.com.

You can also post excellence to this address:

Adam Walton,
91Èȱ¬ Radio Wales,
Canolfan y Diwydiannau Creadigol / The Centre for the Creative Industries,
Prifysgol Glyndwr / Glyndwr University,
Wrecsam / Wrexham
LL11 2AW

I'd recommend you read the expansive blogs on submitting music to the show - start with the last one if it's your first time.

Elsewhere in this week's show, Alan Holmes comes in smelling strongly of pachouli oil, having back-combed his, erm, well... yes. He's clutching something by Dammerung. It has Gothic tendencies. And it's great.

Lara Catrin translates something poetic from Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog and Ben Hayes treats us to something AMAZING (and legal in the UK) from Amsterdam.
