How about Twm Twp, the Welsh/Breton/English twmpath/ceilidh band, one of Mike James' bright schemes? Twm Twp, based in Brittany, have done several festivals (including Sidmouth and the superb Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau). They're coming for a tour in January, and one of their gigs is going to be the Cardiff Ceilidh Club at the Heath Hospital - Dave Parsons, caller extraordinaire and doyen of the club, he say Yes!

How do I describe their sound? it's part squeezebox, part brass, part drums, part keyboards, all put together with jazzy Welsh joy. I can't wait!

And yes, you can say I'm biased. Like Mike, I was a founder member of the legendary group Swansea Jack - ah, those were the days!
