This week's show fought many-headed mythical monsters, braved bilious waters, clawed its way to the top of dizzying crags, all to find you three hours worth of Welsh musical golden fleeces.

And it was worth every death-defying moment!

OK.

All I did was trawl through the .mp3's in my inbox, diligently listen through the jiffy bags that had dropped onto my doormat, and go out to see a few bands. But that last bit brought me face to face with something far more terrible than the Gorgon. I saw a band in Wrexham who wanted to be Brother Beyond! In 2010! When will the baggy t-shirted nightmares END?

Centre stage on tonight's show are The Victorian English Gentlemens Club. They're as close as Wales has to a Wire infused Talking Heads. I don't know a band who are as restless as they are, both in the sense that they're frequently on tour (currently in Europe) and ceaseless in their creativity. We have the majority of their live set from this year's Swn Festival (minus the songs we'd already broadcast). It's a fascinating and brilliant set quite unlike anything else I saw that weekend. I can't wait for their recently completed third album. But this fills that yearning nicely for the time being.

I preview this weekend's Absurd Festival (Saturday 6 November - https://www.theabsurd.co.uk/festival/ ) - the most essential and fascinating live music event to happen in Northeast Wales in my lifetime. No word of exaggeration.

Ben Hayes comes in to talk about inspirational blues.

And there is amazing music from all over Wales covering the whole sonic spectrum.

Welsh demos/releases should be sent as a high quality .mp3 to: themysterytour@gmail.com

Or posted to: Adam Walton, ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Wales, Library & Arts Centre, Rhosddu Rd., WREXHAM LL11 1AU

Due to post Swn comedown (a recognised medical affliction), I've rather let the slip out of date. If you have any releases/key events coming up, please mail me at themysterytour@gmail.com and I'll get it up to date ASAP. I know it's being used, but I'm only a poor excuse for diligence at the best of time so I NEED YOUR HELP to maintain it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

And if you have any thoughts/suggestions/creative insults etc., please send to: themysterytour@gmail.com

Have an excellent, music-filled week!

Thank you/diolch,

Adam T. Walton
