Husb and I went to an unusual place for a gig on Friday night, a church! Llangiwg Church is a fascinating place, very ancient with a huge yew tree alongside, which indicated it may be built on an earlier Celtic holy site. There’s also a stone-lined healing / holy well in the grounds and spectacular views over the surrounding countryside. The tower is a solid Norman square stone block and it’s on top of a very steep hill, on it’s own, away from the noise and bustle of daily life. So quiet. Of course, I had to have a scribble!
The gig was fab. First off an inspirational selection of historic Fisk Jubilee songs by Cór Aderyn Du, The Brynmill Blackbird Choir. Then followed an entertaining set by the Blue Star Stragglers, a Welsh / Canadian bluegrass group. And finally the incredibly talented Andy Tamlyn Jones gave a wonderful display of musicianship to round off a strange but fabulous evening. Have a listen below.
