June 12, 2010 -- Lady Plays The Blues
Lady Plays The Blues is a new documentary, presented by Cerys, where she travels to the USA to find out why the blues is so male dominated.
It tells the story of guitarists Rosetta Tharpe, Memphis Minnie, Etta Baker, Algia Mae Hinton and Precious Bryant, women who “lived extreme lives which led to them playing the blues in a way perhaps no man can.”
However, each one died with hardly any recognition. That’s despite many more famous names, like Bob Dylan, Kenny Wayne Shepard and Muddy Water, being taught by these ladies.
Cerys heads to the Blues Awards in Memphis and chats with contemporary player, Bonnie Raitt, about the influence these women have had on the current scene.
The documentary will go out on Radio 4 on Tuesday 22nd June at 13.30 |

April 20, 2010 -- Tir
TIR
Released on Rainbow City Records
Monday June 21st
http://www.earthquakeltd.com/
A labour of love, TIR publishes photos from the 1880s to 1940s of people at work and play. Shopkeepers, farmers, horse-breakers, quarry men, mariners, tailors, organ players and songs from the same era.
Lovingly collected by Cerys since childhood. Taking a mixture of songs, some Victorian, some hymns, some obscure, some traditional and some huge great hulking classics of iconic stature like Bread of Heaven, Sosban Fach, Myfanwy and even the National anthem. Presented here almost as if they were freshly written, with voice and simple accompaniment and little else, apart from a tender appreciation and a thirst for their historical significance, including a duet with Bryn Terfel on Migldi Magldi.
With TIR, Cerys breathes new life into the old standards and rejuvenates old gems. There are 32 pages bursting with life with notes by Roy Saer of the Welsh folk society and St Fagan's. The whole package is a treasure trove of life in music and pictures.
