Verity Sharp presents a musical jamboree from across the ages with an anti-Christmas song by Miles Davis, anarchic rhythms from OOIOO alongside those of the Japanese taiko drum ensemble Tomoe-Ryu Yutakadaiko, an epic ballad from Richard Hawleey's latest release True Loves Gutter, and a Plygain carol from the Anglesey tradition sung by Daniel Huws. Plus a recording of the Ulster Christmas Rhymers performing their traditional mummers' play in 1954.
