Tomos Williams: An Absolute Riot! Risings, Race And Identity In Wales
by Ian Patterson
Threads. They wind their way through history, overlapping, interconnecting and sometimes weaving strange and powerful narratives that never really end, but simply grow and evolve.

New Rhodri Davies on Another Timbre
by John Eyles
Since 2000, harpist and electronicist Rhodri Davies has evolved continuously. He has metamorphosed from an extraordinary harpist--equally comfortable playing classical music, contemporary compositions or freely improvising--into an exploratory and innovative musician who continually extends the range of his playing and the language of his instrument. Davies has happily extended his technique by deploying preparations, playing tabletop ...
