Health Minister Mark Drakeford

Straight from the opening with First Minister Carwyn Jones, Mark Drakeford, Minister for Health and Social Services called in to the Radio Glamorgan studios. Excited, passionate and eloquent as ever, he explains his pleasure at the completion of the second phase of the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital for Wales. The hospital is a collaboration between donors, the University, the health board and Welsh Government, “an example of the long tradition of collective and cooperative ways of doing things in Wales”, said Drakeford.No stranger to the RG studios, he once again speaks with frankness and clarity about some of the difficult decisions his portfolio brings.(In March 2009 I broadcast a live interview with the team of cyclists crossing USA to raise funds for the Noah’s Ark Appeal. Catch it here.)

@TwmsTreks take to the Hinterland

The S4C, nordic-noir detective series Y Gwyll/Hinterland has been a huge success, not least because it portrays a not much visited part of Wales - Ceredigion. Until now that is. Visiting film locations has always been popular but Dafydd Wyn Morgan is taking visitors by foot to some of the locations, to tread where the cast and film crews have so vividly portrayed a unique countryside, and maybe way of life.Arriving in the studio as his hero ‘Mathias’ Dafydd tells me how he got into the business and the launch of @hinterlandwalks later in the month.His choice of music to suit the theme: Chris Rea “On The Beach”, The Proclaimers “Gonna Be (500 miles), and Aled Jones “Aberystwyth”. Of course.

Musician, performer, composer

Fiona Bennett was born in Cardiff in 1962 and she began having piano lessons at the age of four. At fourteen, she was awarded a scholarship to study piano and music theory at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and within two years, she was a regular performer on Welsh language television and radio, singing and playing her own material.Her new album, ‘A Country Suite’ is a collection of six short pieces for piano which she composed. The music is inspired by Fiona’s love of costume dramas, especially those set in the late 19th century such as ‘Lark Rise to Candleford’ and ‘Cranford’ and each movement is a snapshot of country life during that era.You can find the fab Flash Mob video here.For the interview she chose the opening track “The Landcsape”, Barry Manilow’s ‘One Voice’ and a Maria Callas aria from ‘La Boheme’.

Wales’ Health Minister - the buck stops here

Unlike in England, responsibility for Health and Social Services in Wales is the personal responsibility of one man, Professor Mark Drakeford (right in picture). West-Wallian by birth, with deep and passionate roots in Wales we explored through three pieces of music his life, his job, his vision for health services in Wales. He is a compelling conversationist, moving, committed and challenging.His musical choices (not well-credited on air I am afraid) were: Parti Fronheulog singing “Ar gyfer heddiw’r bore (Faban bach)” ; Paul Robeson and “Joe Hill”; and the Dietrich Fischer-Diskau/Gerald Moore recording of Schubert’s Wintereisse, D911 “Der Leiermann”.

Nathan Wyburn - celebrity culture and Marmite ™

His website says “Nathan Wyburn, age 24, is a Welsh Fine Art graduate who specialises mostly in creating iconic celebrity portraits and ‘Pop culture’ imagery with non-traditional mediums such as Food (Marmite on toast, ketchup, sugar, chocolate), along with other everyday items (newspaper cut outs, soil, candles, toothpaste, fake tan). And, indeed that’s what you get.A celebrity artist who holds celebrity up to the mirror - sometimes in fun, other times more seriously. And like those celebrities it was celebrity machine Britain’s Got Talent that rocketed him from art college to a fame which means that for the past four years his work has been sustaining him financially, and very nicely too I suspect.He has an exhinbition currently @thecardiffstory - there’s a press article here.His own celebrity barometer rating by the way is an astonishing 10 million YouTube hits - and growing.It’s an engaging conversation where he treats art, and his art seriously, but celebrity with a large pinch of salt - perhaps a suitable medium for a portrait of myself !Music in the theme - Charlotte Church (see picture above) and Jessica Lee Morgan sending up the idea with “I Wanna Be famous”.

He talks about their next effort and introduces us to the lineup.Headlining is the new band from James Clode who’s album “Citadel” I have played and they are attracting plaudits all round: "Totally Awesome, they rocked and stomped the Brewhouse."We get to hear amongst all the chat two tracks from the album “This Life’s Drums” and the single “I’m No Hero”. Live with just James on acoustic guitar “The One Thing” a track also on the album, and the as yet unrecorded track for a new CD “Educated”.Amazing what we get up to in the ‘production’ studio at Radio Glamorgan whilst the new one is being built.

Emily Cole, Mentrau Iaith and Welsh language

Today’s Radio Glamorgan interviewee was Emily Cole the national coordinator of Mentrau Iaith, Cymru which supports the work of the local organisations throughout Wales promoting the Welsh language.Live from the Maes at this year’s National Eisteddfod in Llanelli we discuss the Maes, learning Welsh, her rôle and that of the organisation, the fact that’s she’s not a first-language speaker - and I get her to translate the Welsh version of the government’s advert about organ donation. We discover the importance of organ donation as she reveals that her brother had a liver transplant here at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff.All Welsh music of course: her favourite band The Super Furry Animals, and the Al Lewis Band who were to perform on the Maes later.

Ellie James Cardiff singer/songwriter

ELLIE MAKES MUSIC has been described as sounding like ‘A Welsh Taylor Swift!’ or ‘Laura Marling’s Little Sister’. Two bold statements indeed, but if you knew that Ellie was complemented in the  Horizon’s Awards at this  year’s BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, an event broadcast live to millions from The Royal Albert Hall and that Ellie played her first London gig at The Houses Of Parliament with Cerys Matthews, Mark Ellen, Mark Radcliffe and Controller Radio Radio 2 & 6 Music in attendance as invited guests, then maybe, just maybe, those bold opening statements don’t seem so overblown anymore! That gig btw was arranged by non other than our own Kevin Brennan MP of MP4.ELLIE MAKES MUSIC songs are coming of age stories from the front-line of teenage life.   On her new download, ‘I Pray’ she sings about loneliness and missing somebody very special.  Her previous releases have dealt with overcoming anxiety and domestic abuse, weighty subjects indeed for someone who has only just turned 20.  Under her real name Cardiff based Ellie James has enrolled at Bath Spa University for full time studies in Commercial music.In this interview we play two tracks from her CD and the latest single “I Pray”. She’ll be back I warrant.

Celebrating Dylan Thomas 100

The National Museum in Cardiff currently (until 16 March) has an extraordinary exhibition by Peter Blake of his illustrations for Under Milk Wood. See it!Every afternoon they play the recording by George Martin from 1988 which features a great deal of music and performances by 40 Welsh actors including Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce as 1st and 2nd Voice. Musical performances from Sir Geraint Evans, Mary Hopkin, Tom Jones, Bonnie Tyler create a unique experience with music specially written, including by Elton John.I have strung together this musical selection for today’s Radio Glamorgan show with as little interruption as possible. (Sadly there was a microphone malfunction and rather more post production than is good - but the music is fine!)When you enjoy it seek out the album and hear the whole story of Llareggub. (CD EMI 7243 5 85157 2 5) I do not get referral for the record and I would prefer you to buy from your local record shop :)

Anne-Marie Cunningham

Anne-Marie Cunningham is a GP and Clinical Lecturer in Cardiff University, interested in the use of new technologies to further medical education but not just for the sake of it. She is helping sponsor and run an NHS Hackday in Cardiff in January.We talked about her career - and what had fostered her interest in IT, computers and hacking (as well as explaining what hacking really means!). Anne-Marie is really keen that anyone involved in the NHS in Wales gets involved in the hackday - patients, doctors and other front-line personnel like physios. So, see you there?

Rhys Williams

Rhys Williams was in Cardiff performing on the previous evening, and he’d done a live gig for Jamie Owen. So he popped in and this is the result. Three tracks from his new ‘not all gloom and doom’ and very melodic new album “Great Falls”.His work ranges much wider than music so an unusually interesting guest. And a record that’ll be getting a lot of my airtime methinks.PS Don’t often get selfies to use, so for the avoidance of doubt Rhys is the less bald on on the right of the pic!

But there are lots more.And we talk about other events including the Great Roath Bakeoff - yes cakes!

Well, the content includes me plus clips from some 2013 interviews, snatches of brass band, folk and rock music, dedications etc, all brilliantly edited by Christian at Space Studios Twitter @spacestudiosltd .
