To kick start the new year off, Mr Phormula / Hoax emcee / Alex Moller and Rob Buck (Gwibdaeth Hen Fran) teamed up for Radio Cymru's very first Sessiwn Unnos. The basic idea was that four musicians came together at the BBC studio to create a free downloadable e.p (produced, mixed and mastered) consisting of a minimum three tracks between the hours of 7pm and 7am. The finished product then went up for free download, including artwork, for 9am the following morning. Airplay of the tracks was on on the C2 show the following evening. Also, the very talented Andy Birch (Dime One) jumped up on artwork duty. Between 15 cans of red bull, coffee, a Chinese takeaway, free sandwiches and a quiche, the session turned out to be a very successful one.

You can download the finished product (cover and all!) from the SHOP section or you can cop the streaming version along with vids of the evening from radio cymru's unnos section - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radiocymru/c2/safle/unnos/orielau/rhaglen01.shtml
