This week on RTÉ: A visit to Cardigan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Thursdays at 11pm on RTÉ2, and catch-up worldwide via the RTÉ Player.

Can you believe we’re at Episode 5 already? The series is flying by, and tonight’s show is a particularly big one. We’re bringing you across the water to West Wales for a jam-packed line-up, all from the beautiful St Mary’s Church in Cardigan.

Joining us this week: KhakiKid, Sorry, Gruff Rhys, ROIS, Panic Shack, Master Peace, Melin Melyn and Ye Vagabonds.

It's a treasure-trove of incredible music in this episode as we hear from the much-beloved Ye Vagabonds, weaving beautiful folk melodies with rich harmonies that have earned them six RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards; the one and only Gruff Rhys, celebrating his Welsh language album Dim Probs; Cardiff’s Panic Shack, bringing their high-energy, super-relatable indie-punk, and Welsh eccentrics Melin Melyn, with their colourful blend of psychedelic pop and imaginative world-building.

Also featured this week is Dublin's KhakiKid, whose jazz-tinged, offbeat hip-hop is bursting with both humour and heart; London five-piece Sorry, fusing rock’n’roll traditions with the rearranged codes of the digital age; Master Peace, the Ivor Novello Rising Star Award winner whose genre-blending, high-octane performances combine the pulse of indie with the energy of rap; and finally, the haunting sounds of RÓIS, the Fermanagh-born composer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and electronic artist whose performance in the Church had us transported to another realm.

Remember you can tune in from wherever you are in the world on the RTÉ Player. Catch us on the telly at 11pm on RTÉ2 on Thursday nights 📺

Mwynhewch! (Enjoy!)
