From Belgian fields to a raging sea with Gavin Higgins and Gillian Moore
London's Southbank Centre's Gillian Moore and composer Gavin Higgins travel from Texas to Portugal - via Belgium and Suffolk - with Cerys and Jeffrey as they add five more tracks.
Gillian Moore, author and Artistic Associate of London's Southbank Centre, and Ivor Novello-winning composer Gavin Higgins join Cerys Matthews and Jeffrey Boakye as they add five more tracks to the playlist in the penultimate show of this series.
