Huw Stephens' exploration of Welsh music is a testament to the rich cultural tapestry of Wales and its profound impact on the global music scene.

From the iconic voices of Tom Jones, Bonnie Tyler, and Shirley Bassey to the revolutionary sounds of Cool Cymru's leading bands, including Manic Street Preachers, Stereophonics, Catatonia and Super Furry Animals, Stephens' narrative captures the essence of Welsh identity and its political expression through music.

His work not only celebrates the achievements of Welsh artists but also delves into the language and stories that have shaped the nation's musical heritage.
