BBC Radio Wales is taking encouraging listeners to go for a ride though 1960s Llandrindod Wells as part of it's 40th anniversary celebrations.

The station is broadcasting live from Middleton Street today as part of a tour across the length and breadth of Wales.

And as part of their Llandrindod Wells special, the station is posting footage from the BBC archives offering a rare view of the Radnorshire town during the swinging sixties.

Radio Wales Editor Colin Paterson said: “The last 40 years have been a wonderful journey for Radio Wales and we’re really looking forward to taking our birthday bus on the road, packed with our favourite presenters and programmes. We’re going to celebrate our big 40 with listeners across Wales and you can follow every twist and turn on Radio Wales throughout the week.”

Also today Wynne Evans will be meeting the Mayor of Llandrindod Wells, Jon Williams. He’ll be talking with local 'upcycler' Partick Sheehy about his business and his upcycling classes.

Sharron Hammond, the treasurer of the town’s Victorian theatre - the Albert Hall - will discuss their upcoming bingo fundraising effort to raise money to install a new heating system and explains what makes the hall so important to the local people.

The show will be broadcasting live from Llandrindod until 4pm this evening.
