Music Matters - Welsh music

Logo for Music Matters - Welsh music

Tom Service travels through Wales, investigating the music making taking place in the run up to Christmas. He hears traditional Welsh instruments used to celebrate the festive season, visits the Morriston Male Voice Choir as they mark their 75th anniversary, and talks to harpist Catrin Finch about the significance of the harp in Welsh society and music. He delves into the Mabinogion - a collection of stories from mediaeval Welsh manuscripts, and hears about orchestral music making in one of the most sparsely populated areas of the country.
