Wynne Evans, Anne Denholm and Patrick Rimes at the Hay Festival

Cerys Matthews and Jeffrey Boakye present the first episode of the new series from the BBC marquee in front of a live audience at the Hay Festival 2022.

Their musical guests on stage in the tent are the opera tenor Wynne Evans, best known as Gio Compario in the TV insurance adverts, as well as Anne Denholm, Official Harpist to the Prince of Wales from 2015 to 2019, and the violinist and composer Patrick Rimes.

In this one-off show, Cerys, Jeffrey and guests create a five-track playlist where each track is chosen for its musical connection with the previous one, starting with a Welsh singalong classic.
