I was listening to Max Boyce, "Live at Treorchy" yesterday
evening. It wears well. Wikipedia tells me that they couldn't sell
enough tickets at fifty pence each, so they had to let everyone in for
free.
Seems to me that I heard about him at
about the time of this recording. I wonder how or where. I know I
didn't see him live. I'm thinking maybe a folk singer who had heard
him sang "Hymns and Arias" on a visit to Atlantic College.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I wasn't in Wales -- except for fleeting visits -- then. (A while back, yes.)
I heard the record at my brother's house but all I remember from then is The
Outside Half Factory.
Duw It's Hard certainly wears well. In fact, it acquires a new resonance now
(Wales will not fare well under the Condems). I like When We Walked to
Merthyr Tydfil, too.

Bring back the press for Hopera singers. That's the ticket. Board and front
them. 'splain they're now in the navy. What?

A while back, that.
