Cerys' weekly round up of the blues you need to hear, from all around the world and in all shapes and sizes!

This week, Cerys welcomes actor Bill Nighy to share his favourite blues records. The BAFTA and Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee has starred in many of our much-loved classic films, including Love Actually, About Time and Pirates of the Caribbean. This year, he stars in the film The Beautiful Game, which follows a football team as they travel from London to Rome for the Homeless World Cup, and a horror film called The First Omen. Bill has a passion for soul music and blues music, curating his own playlists of mood-based blues music from his sizable record collection.
