Lace, textiles, jazz, and "acoustic fog".

Latest BBC Radio Wales Arts Show with Catrin Kean, Cefyn Burgess, Heather Phillipson, and Brecon Jazz at 40.

Great show this week, which is now up on BBC Sounds.

I talk with Catrin Kean about her new novel, Lace, a follow-up to her Wales Book of the Year-winning debut, Salt.

I talk with textiles artist Cefyn Burgess about his exploration of the legacy of the Welsh in northern Indian communities.

We get to hear all about the heart and soul that has gone into making Brecon Jazz festival one of the most iconic music festivals in the world for the last 40 years.

And Jenny White joins me to give her views on the Heather Phillipson exhibition, “Out of this World”, at the Glynn Vivian in Swansea (pictured).
