Cerys celebrates Glasgow's Celtic Connections festival with a session from Orkney's Saltfishforty. Plus Cynefin aka Owen Shiers calls in ahead his new album Shimli.

Known for their high-octane mix of traditional, contemporary and original tunes, Saltfishforty are fiddle player Douglas Montgomery and guitarist and Mandola player Brian Cromarty. The duo are based on the Scottish island of Orkney and have been playing together for over twenty years.

Cynefin aka Owen Shiers is a Welsh folk singer, researcher, grain grower and cultural historian. His new album Shimli takes it's name from the now obsolete West Walian practice of all night musical and poetic vigils which would take place in mills and workshops.

Plus Cerys celebrates the 25th anniversary of D'Angelo's Voodoo and shares her new music discoveries and the classic gems she unearths.
