Radio Wales Extra

Roy revisits Torri’r Llech – an unusual old Welsh medical practice which involved drawing blood from the ear. Hefirst explored the practice on the programme three years ago and today Dr Thomas Khan-White returns to tell us how his research has developed – and where it’s led him. We’ll also celebrate the great Welsh male voice choir tradition. A new Sky Arts series, Voices of the Valleys, goes behind the music with three choirs across Wales. Producer Catrin Jones-Shawe and Y Fron Musical Director Leigh Mason join Roy. The Pick of the Week comes from the Huw Stephens show where he catches up with Manic Street Preachers’ James Dean Bradfield – who’s getting ready for a brand new show here on BBC Radio Wales.
