Eleri Angharad – New Sin
With her new single comes a new sound for Eleri Angharad. The Swansea-based singer-songwriter is getting dark and going deep with New Sin, a song about “two lovers, locking eyes and beginning a steamy love affair”. She has stepped away from her country and folk roots for this one, entering into a sultry pop productionContinue reading “Eleri Angharad – New Sin”
The Goat Roper Rodeo Band at Theatr Clwyd (A post-lockdown Performance)

The Trials of Cato with Tant – Pontio Arts Centre
You know you’ve hit on something good when the support act is as good as the headliner. It may have been The Trials of Cato that we had come to see, but it was the five-piece female band Tant that we went away talking about. Running slightly late, we wandered into the theatre at PontioContinue reading “The Trials of Cato with Tant – Pontio Arts Centre”
New Sinfonia – New Year Gala Concert
I am walking up the High Street in St Asaph on an unseasonably warm January evening. The final remnants of Christmas hang in shop windows. The town’s tree is already stripped bare. It stands awkwardly on the side of the street. Meanwhile, opposite, a yellow glow emanates from the inside of the Cathedral. It stands,Continue reading “New Sinfonia – New Year Gala Concert”
