Wales: Music Nation with Huw Stephens: Series Premiere (S1EP1 Saturday 1 October 2022)
Wales is a musical country known as the Land of Song. But where does the concept originate from and what can we learn about ourselves from Welsh music? Huw Stephens, a music enthusiast, has created a special Welsh music mixtape that delves deeply into the fascinating and varied history of music in Wales.
Huw explores what makes Welsh music special and the characteristics it has throughout the ages, ranging from choirs to pop groups, Tom Jones to the triple harp, eerie mediaeval music to urban rap. This is the first TV series to bring together the entire spectrum of Welsh music throughout the centuries. It features interviews with celebrities like the Manic Street Preachers and Dafydd Iwan along with specially shot performances.
