Some fine vintage folk in this week’s mix from the likes of Sandy Denny, Michael Raven and Joan Mills, Skara Brae and more. There is some dabbling in psych courtesy of Ben Tweddell’s Twelve Hides which was released in August as well as Toby Hay’s new EP which we recently featured in an exclusive first listen. All this and lots more along with extensive track notes.

Listen to the new EP from guitarist and composer Toby Hay who is based near Rhayader in Mid Wales. His new EP is a collection of solo 12 string guitar pieces inspired by 4 different birds – The Red Kite, the Raven, the Curlew and Starling.

We have the great pleasure in sharing this video premiere from David Ian Roberts for Grail (also our Song of the Day). It is the only live track on his forthcoming EP Sending Out Fires, the video for which was shot as the track was recorded at Fieldgate Studio near Cardiff.

Introducing Toby Hay, a 22 year old guitarist from Mid Wales whose playing stretches from traditionally inspired tunes to a more experimental sounding American Primitivism.
