Poetry, Fundraising and Swansea Market.

I went to a poetry reading at Elysium the other day. It’s not like me, I’m not usually a fan of poetry. But these were by local poet David Hughes and I really like his work. It isn’t pretentious and bourgeois, it’s down to earth, relatable and often fun. The poems were performed by a group of actors and that added immeasurably to the enjoyment. The event was a fundraiser for Harry’s Fund, a very good cause in memory of young Harry Patterson.

Here’s a cool film of Swansea Market traders reciting one of David’s poems.
