Cerys Matthews, Jeffrey Boakye and guest Neil Brand add five more tracks to the playlist.

Another five tracks are added to the playlist, picking up where we left off. Guests - composer Neil Brand and guitarist Plinio Fernandes - demonstrate the intricacies of music.

Picking up from Let Him Go, Let Him Tarry, the final song last week, Cerys Matthews and Jeffrey Boakye add the next five tracks to the playlist. 

Composer and pianist Neil Brand, this week's studio guest, alongside Brazilian guitarist Plinio Fernandes, explores the musical detail of the tracks, as connections are explored which link one composition to another. Last week we went from a country/rap smash hit to a traditional Irish folk song via a riotous rodeo, but where will this week's journey of discovery take us?
