HIRAETH

Place your hand, before you leave me

Against my breast- and then believe me 

You will hear, this trouble taking

The little sound of something breaking 

(Welsh. Middle Ages. Author unknown)

Using specially composed music, Welsh history, traditional stories and poetry, DANIEL MORDEN and guitarist TOBY HAY explore that most elusive of states, hiraeth. In doing so they raise universal issues of displacement and dispossession.

This is a unique opportunity to see this new duo collaborate for the first time as they develop new work together.  Daniel Morden, described as “One of the UK’s finest storytellers” — BBC Radio 3, and Toby Hay, “One of the finest guitarists of his generation.” — Folk Radio, are performing the first of three special ‘work in progress’ shows at the Willow Globe.  

This collaboration is supported through the Arts Council Wales Create fund.
