Finch and Ní Bhriain create a spellbinding musical dialogue where traditional and contemporary elements converge in a breathtaking celebration of musical synergy, taking listeners on a captivating journey on the wings of the bees across the Irish Sea, inspired by the cultures of their home countries.

It was great to be back at Y Muni Pontypridd on Thursday with Pontypridd Community Choir for the lovely Festive Voices Christmas show. Beautiful performances from Sound of Wales Acapella, Dai Woolridge, More Than A Song Choir, and Choirs for Good Pontypridd. I sadly don't have any photos from the night, but it did remind me that I never got around to sharing this epic photo from last time I played there, taken by my esteemed pal Matthew Frederick on their amazing reopening night. It's great to have the Muni open again - I also watched It's A Wonderful Life there a few days ago (my favourite Christmas film) and it was nice to bawl my eyes out in public in a room full of strangers, rather than just in my living room like I do every other year.
