Cancelled - sorry!
Word Play was forged among the rocks of the Preseli Hills and the west Wales coastline. A shared love of their landscape and its languages brought its members together in addition to a keenly felt respect for the history of this region; twinned with an appreciation of the originality of each other’s work, whatever the subject matter.
Formed in 2024, Word Play is a small collective of award-winning poets and singer-song writers. Six distinct voices spanning the worlds of poetry and folk music. Inventive and lively, haunting and vividly imagined, their combined strengths are gentled by the sonorous grace of their language: Word Play, at its best. This marriage of poetry and music harks back to historical examples of collaborating to entertain one’s local community such as the Noson Lawen.
Word Play are: Annie Butler, landscape artist and award-winning poet; Paul Steffan Jones multi-published poet; Paul Hayes award-winning folk singer/songwriter; Cécile Cailleau folk singer-songwriter; Richard Wheeler, poet; Karen Brewer, performance poet.
Altogether, your collective made me feel so much better about humanity. I am truly grateful to all of you.
