Bob Delyn A’r Ebillion

Our latest Folk Show featuring new music from Karine Polwart, ALAW, Bob Delyn A’r Ebillion, Blue Rose Code, Adam Holmes, Ralph McTell and Wizz Jones, Luke Daniels as well as favourites from Jo Mango, James Yorkston and more.

Bob Delyn a’r Ebillion return with their first album in fourteen years. Twm Morys and his band offer melodic inventiveness and lyrical panache on Dal i ‘Redig Dipyn Bach which summons images of the slate and moss of the Welsh landscape and lays bare the Welsh psyche. It is an impressive and moving piece of songwriting, in any language.

Our Song of the Day comes from Bob Delyn a’r Ebillion with Y Mab Penfelyn (The Golden Haired Boy) from their forthcoming new album Dal i ’Redig Dipyn Bach. Listen here and read Twm Morys explanation about this traditional song from Maesteg.

In our latest Folk Show, we open with a Folk Radio UK session from Gregory Alan Isakov. Plus new music from Naomi Bedford and Paul Simmonds, Emily Mure, Laura Baird, Josh Ritter, Shake the Chains and more.

Whether it is recalling memories of it or the longing for return to the homeland. The first mix opens to Irish poet Seamus Heaney and features Liam O’flynn, Kathryn Tickell, Kris Drever, Dick Gaughan and more.
