Things I Enjoy
The best Welsh songwriter you’ve probably never heard of.
I’ve lost count of the times I’ve been entertained by this man. He’s been touring for decades, and has quite a back catalogue. The set was a nice balance between old favourites (like Dic Penderyn and Cardiff Bay) and new material like Here Come The Young.
This was the second time seeing him at one of my favourite venues, the Band on the Wall in Manchester.
First concert of the year was the lovely Edwina Hayes at Bury Met.
I’ve seen this very talented singer / song writer several times at festivals, but this was the first time seeing her in a gig of her own.
She tells random stories between songs, and I don’t think she’s fully aware of how funny she can be. A very entertaining evening with a number of her own songs interspersed with a few covers.
If you’re new to this lady’s work, check out her ‘Pour Me A Drink’ album. The title track is a veritable ear worm, and is the track you’re likely to find first in a YouTube search.
