Remembering John Davies

Sometimes people who read musical notation can make those of us who don’t feel a little inadequate. It’s as if we are not proper musicians after all. John Davies was a master craftsman.

The Missing Phone Call

On 911 we were recording an album. We knew that day had changed the world. Every year on the anniversary, wherever we were in the world, we would check in with each other and remember. This year there was no phone call…

Here We Go Again???

We go into tonight’s game against Wrexham with the whole world watching. This is a worldwide sporting event. I’ve had 2 very special rides to the top with Swansea City. It couldn’t happen 3 times in my lifetime…could it?

Change Is In The Air

Before long the struggles we faced with extreme heat will start to disappear and what will be left is the warm glowing memory of the summer of 26.

This Is Our Town

Going to see Welsh National Theatre ‘s production of Our Town starring Michael Sheen left me speechless. It also inspired a new song and a new video ‘OUR TOWN’.

A Moment To Remember

This is our chance for a moment to remember. I expect there will be tears and laughter with everyone being encouraged to come along and sing their hearts out. I hope we do Bonnie proud, that it’s a day for us all to remember being a part of something very special.

Sweet Home… Pontrhydyfen

On Wednesday people from all over the world gathered around the grave to say our final goodbyes to a lovely man. The grave yard at Machpelah Chapel in Pontrhydyfen is on a steep hillside and having made sure everyone managed to climb the hill I turned around to look across the little valley. It was a moment of mixed emotions.

Still With Me – This week’s No 1

Still With me is this week’s Heritage Chart No.1. I will raise a glass of champagne knowing that next week someone else will probably have that coveted top spot. It could be Bruce Springsteen or maybe Owen Paul. BUT there is an audience out there and I think I might just have found it.
