Sheen and Joseph

Well, as you'd expect, an evening with Michael Sheen and Marty Joseph was excellent. It was a new thing for both of them, so very much a 'Let's see how it goes' event. Michael read poems and in between Martyn sang songs. 

Martyn is a folk singer, known for singing about social injustice. Here he sings about the support Paul Robeson gave to striking Welsh miners back in the 1920s.

Michael read poems from two of Wales' foremost poets, Dylan Thomas and R.S. Thomas. (Other surnames are available.) Very different in style they cover similar subjects. This is the R.S. Thomas one I liked the best. Imagine it read by Michael Sheen, in his beautiful lilting Welsh voice.

So, yes, a fab night. I think they might be making a 'thing' of it so look out for future events.
