Merge Files into Single with Header

Hi All,

I am trying to merge all files in a directory that end in *.txt to a single file with the contents one after the other. This I can do using the cat function but how do I put the name of the file as a header for each one in the combined single file and seperate the contents from each file by a space?

Any quick suggestions?
