THIS week, for my A-Z of Welsh bands I shall return to a group whom I wrote about several months ago, after the debut release of their EP "Set Yourself Free" which was launched at a gig in Oswestry's Ironworks.
Their name is the Misty Blue Trio and even though they are only really emerging as musicians, they have managed to combine a variety of genres and influences into their sound which oozes with an impressively mature and confident nature.
In autumn, the band hopes to record their first full length album at the Old Chapel Studio which was home to Dai Rob's first album.
I expect the trio will produce a dignified, exciting and impressive album which will hopefully be filled with the catchy notes and clear vocals that are so obvious on "Set Yourself Free".
Yet, improving their sound may be a problem because it is already of a good solid quality; however I am quietly confident that the Misty Blue Trio have a few tricks hidden up their musical sleeve.
The band has a huge potential, and have a magical sense of possibility which lingers so elegantly in their work.
They may be young, yet they've gained the support of local music promoter business Teller Promotions which will undoubtedly give them all the support the band could ever wish for.
I spoke to the group, who is made up of lead singer Jack Taylor (featured several weeks ago), drummer Sam Leese and newly acquired bassist Bo Cox for an interview.
Let's hear what the guys had to say.
You have recently released your debut EP "Set Yourself Free", how does it feel to know you have fans listening to your work all across the county?
It's nice to know that when people come to our gigs they like to take our music home with them. At the end of the day we just want people to listen to it and enjoy it as much as we do playing it.
Where do you gain your inspiration from during the creation process?
Well when we introduced Bo on bass, we set a motto to write music that people can dance to but can also capture our influences. We found sex and drugs aren't our thing so inspiration wise; songs mainly get written over a pot of tea.
Several weeks ago you were played on Radio Shropshire for the first time. How did that make you feel?
Before this we were radio virgins so to be finally played on the radio has given us a taste for more! We hope to be featured on more radio shows in the coming year!
You have several small local festivals lined up for this summer. What can your fans expect from your performance?
They can expect lots of pocket groove, funky beats, bass slapping and odd ball covers!
So not only have the boys recently appeared on Radio Shropshire, started writing their new album, where they will gain help from engineer Will Barnes, and have confirmed dates for some small local festivals like the Workhouse, Crash Festival and the Bluerock Festival in Oswestry but they've gathered a fair few fans along the way.
I have no doubt that these Welshpool based boys will really make their mark.
Their music can be evocative without being overly emotional, and possesses a clear lyrical storytelling element, apparent in the song "Permanent Sadness".
Make sure you take a good long listen to these Welshpool composers.

You'll be able to watch these guys live over the summer as they play across Mid Wales, gathering fans as they go.
In all honesty, it wouldn't surprise me to see their smiling faces splashed across glossy magazines in years to come, as wider Wales appreciates their rocky bluesy sound that blends so effortlessly with Jack's vocals to create an organically refreshing piece of music.
