Caerleon Festival

Poetry in the Pews

 

 

Despite stiff competition from the Wales v Belgium football match, a good size crowd gathered in St. Cadoc’s Church for an evening packed with interest – so much so that timings were adjusted to accommodate all who were appearing.

The Allegra Ladies Choir delivered a lively session spiced with gospel music preparing the way for poetry.  Robin Ganderton proved that he was one to watch.

Mike Jenkins amused and entertained rounding off with a dazzling harmonica rendition of “The Old Grey Whistle Test”.  Finally, Owen Sheers delighted everyone with poetry and insights into the mysterious process of writing.  A stimulating question and answer session followed. Timekeeping was precise –  allowing everyone to watch the second half and a momentous win for Wales.

A memorable evening.
