It's December 1st – we can officially kick off our Christmas themed coverage, right?
Well, when it comes to charming young songwriters Sweet Baboo and The Pictish Trail we see no other option.
The two have hooked up for a joint tour, bringing no end of acoustic based cheer to venues across the land. Ahead of this, Sweet Baboo has compiled a Winter Warmer playlist – pleasingly themed around fellow Welsh artists, you can dive in below.
1. Plant Duw – 'Pwy Sy'n Dwad Dros Y Bryn'
Start the day with a christmas cracker.

2 & 3. Two snow globes up next. Very different in tone but a place for both under the Christmas tree.
Gorky's Zygotic Mynci – 'Eira'
Tony Ac Aloma – 'Nadolig Gwyn' (Cover Version)
4. Eitha Tal Ffranco – 'Llysieuwyr Rhan-Amser'
Tenuous link to Christmas this one. I imagine lots of people might be part time vegetarians over Christmas. Lovely stuff though, thought I'd crowbar it into my christmas themed selection box.

5. Gruff Rhys – 'Stwffich nadolig ddim y twrci'
End the day like you mean it. Stuff Christmas not the turkey.
