Wales' influence on hymn singing in the US, and Sir Anthony Hopkins from the archive.
Roy talks to Ronald Rees, author of A Nation of Singing Birds which examines how hymns fired the Welsh imagination and spread via Welsh emigrants to the religious communities of the USA.
Our weekly dive into the archive features a snapshot of Sir Anthony Hopkins ona return visit to the Welsh College of Music and Drama in 1981.
We celebrate the work of Duke Ellington as our Birthday Boy of The Month.
