Wonderfully introduced by David Stark and Gwenllian Hâf MacDonald, here's a special performance from them 🎻 The pair performed Gardel's "Por Una Cabeza" as an encore during a tour of South America and wanted to share that memory with you, this time from their Cardiff homes 🎶

Call us nosy, but we love finding out what our players keep in their bags 🕵 But what if you’re a double bass player like @BBCNOW ’s David Stark with a huge case? Just what does he keep in there? Watch on for a few surprises! @BBCWales
