The station will be celebrating the nation's musical talent all day on Friday 25 March 2011 with presenters out and about at venues across the country.

James Dean Bradfield will record an exclusive acoustic session for the day, while some of BBC Radio Wales's most prominent presenters will be turning up at venues across Wales to share some of the new sounds with listeners.

Ten up-and-coming Welsh artists will be showcased throughout the day, with Welsh music heard across the whole of the broadcasting schedule, from 6am right through to 1am the next morning.

Mid-morning presenters Jamie Owen and Louise Elliott will be travelling to Swansea to encourage patrons of the city's Monkey Café to join in the fun live on air from 9am, while Alan Thompson's Evening Show will be live from Clwyd Theatr Cymru in Mold from 7.30pm.

And there will also be a celebration of one of Wales's most famous music venues, the 'legendary' TJs in Newport.

Steve Austins, Editor, BBC Radio Wales, said: "BBC Radio Wales Music Day is an ambitious and exciting celebration of some of the best talent in Wales, mixing music from up-and-coming artists and bands with that of some of Wales' most popular performers."

Sounds good, so do people get to see him or is this just a radio sess?

I'd love if he did it in the Monkey Cafe in Swansea as I live literally across the road from that place.

Dammit. Why can't it be 'Radio Cymru'. They broadcast about 50 steps away from me, in a building I spend most of my uni learning time in.

He can be quite good with acoustic songs though. Like when he did 'All Or Nothing', in a session last year.

No doubt about it but it's always the same songs!

Not always really though, I mean I think he varies it quite a bit...this isn't just straight advertising either. It's 'BBC Radio Wales Day' - he's bound to show off a little bit. Quite a few of them acoustic songs in that zip file are from radio sessions.

Plus I don't think he's played PFAYM on the radio yet, that's not exactly the same songs if he hasn't played it yet!
