Harpist Catrin Finch and composer and musician Neil Brand take us from the sounds of a singing Patagonian bird to a croaking lonely frog.

This week, Radio 4 is revisiting four episodes of the award-winning music series Add to Playlist, first broadcast in October. Today, Welsh harpist and composer Catrin Finch and composer and musician Neil Brand help Cerys Matthews and Jeffrey Boakye add the next five songs to the playlist.
