Broadcaster and folk musician Frank Hennessy brings his country to life in words and music, travelling to all four corners, meeting the people and hearing their stories.
This week Frank is in mid-
Wales where he learns about plygain, a traditional form of Welsh language unaccompanied carol singing, only kept alive in a handful of Montgomeryshire chapels, and he meets one of Wales's last coracle men who teaches him how to make a coracle.
