SESHIWNS RADIO is a collection of 25 previously unreleased tracks by Welsh musical maverick MC MABON ( Gruff Meredith). Between 1999 and 2002 MC MABON recorded and released three highly acclaimed albums for ankstmusik records ( MR BLAIDD(2000), THE HUNT FOR MEANING(2001) and NIA NON(2002) ) which were all praised for their undoubted originality and wide musical vision. At the same time as recording these albums Gruff Meredith was also engaged in putting across another musical side to MC MABON through the recording of radio sessions for the likes of John Peel and Huw Stephens at Radio 1 , Radio Wales?s Adam Walton and the Welsh language Radio Cymru . These were recordings that didn?t include any album tracks and in some ways were musically quite different to the artist encountered on the albums he released . Ankstmusik is proud to announce that all seven of these radio session are now available as one album ( a kind of a ?lost fourth album? from MC MABON?s ankstmusik period ) and are confident that the sheer quality of the songwriting and the vibrant performances make it the equal of those earlier albums.
